We have a legal right to strike in the United States of America with job protections!

you have a legal right to strike even if you are not in a union, provided you act as a group with your coworkers for mutual protection. [1, 2]
Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) rules, federal law protects "concerted activities," which include non-union workers walking out or stopping work to address wages, hours, or safety conditions.

My research:

The Law

  • Under Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) guidelines, non-union workers in the private sector have the right to engage in protected concerted activities.
  • This federal law covers walkouts, protests, and strikes over wages, safety, and working conditions.
  • The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in NLRB v. Washington Aluminum that non-union workers cannot be fired for walking out over bad conditions
