I'm not sure how they expect to enforce this unless they're planning on holding every striking employee at gunpoint and forcing them to work.

Union leaders are threatened with prison which cools the strike. That's how it was done when biden broke down rail workers recently.

Don't under estimate coercive power of the state and that the state is run to protect property of the ruling class.

All other purposes are secondary.

Defiance of power is the only crime the state cares about.
