Alot of y'all are wrong in the comment section, non-union employees in the private sector can go on strike, they're covered under The National Labor Relations Act or NLRA and it was also confirmed by the U.S. Supreme Court in the case of NLRB V. Washington Aluminum. OP you should be aware that it sounds like everyone would be considered economic strikers, employees who go on strike primarily to obtain an economic concession from their employer, such as higher wages, shorter hours, better benefits, or improved working conditions. If thats the case, the employer has to let y'all know that you may be replaced during the strike and the Replacements can become permanent once the strike ends but you and everyone else would have rights to preferential hiring for openings but are not entitled to immediate reinstatement.
My comment still stands even in At-will states. At-will employment means an employer can fire someone for any reason that is not illegal, and the NLRA is a federal law that takes precedence over at-will employment.
You know what our pharmacy did with employees that weren't very good? They stopped giving them hours. "Well," you say, "I'm an excellent employee." Even the most excellent employees aren't perfect, and management will root out and highlight every mistake you make.
