Question

Is it necessary to hire people when there's a strike? I need a few reasons why.

Community Answer

If your business is essential, then hiring people is necessary. For example, if you are supplying food, medical supplies or waste disposal, the business must continue to run without interruption. In some instances the persons hired may need protection.

Question

What happens if the boss fires everyone on strike?

Community Answer

Legally, your boss cannot fire you if you strike. They can hire people to replace you for the interim, but once the strike is over, you are guaranteed the right to reclaim your job.

Question

If we are not member of a trade union, we can't strike, right? Is there any other way to let them know we are not happy with pay and benefits?

Community Answer

You can absolutely still strike, regardless of whether or not you are in a trade union. Get in contact with union leaders in your area and ask for advice. Absolutely everyone has the right to strike.
