But it’s not illegal for you and I to strike? Assuming you aren’t a rail worker.

It only becomes illegal to strike once you threaten go on strike

There are plenty of industry strikes around the county going on all the time. The vast majority are not made illegal.

I’m in Canada and not the US.

Here it is illegal for nurses to strike.

I’m in California, and a ton of our nurses threatened/planned on striking late last year. The threat of strike was enough to get them a new pay deal, and they didn’t have to actually end up striking: https://www.fiercehealthcare.com/providers/kaiser-permanente-averts-strike-nurses-win-225-pay-hike-new-deal

If we had that option here it would create a better quality of life in the healthcare sector. Instead the Ontario provincial government implemented a bill that capped wage raises to <1% in a time of a global pandemic. This caused a lot of nurses to quit and strained the healthcare even more.

Quitting en masse still legal?

Not illegal, however most nurses to some degree identify as altruistic and wouldn’t risk the health/safety of others.
