The article "Why Is It Rare for Public Sector Workers to Go on Strike?" explores why it is uncommon for public sector employees to engage in strikes. The author suggests that the legal limitations on public sector employees, such as the prohibition of strikes in some states and the reliance on collective bargaining, as well as the potential negative public perception of public sector strikes as disruptive to critical services, make it difficult for such employees to strike. Additionally, the article examines the different ways that public sector workers have historically protested, such as through sick-outs or work slowdowns, and how these methods have shown mixed success.
