Yet they still happen. Funny that.

And unions are still subject to massive fines, and police action, if they choose to strike. Funny that.

And every so often a bill gets introduced to overturn it, yet it gets killed, but I'm sure you totally knew that already.

That sadly isn't funny, just uniformed like usual.

Right, and that's why having the ability to strike is so important. It forces the municipalities to negotiate in good faith. Because, as recent evidence suggests, municipalities don't need to argue in good faith.

Which they do regardless of fines or threats from police. The laws are wag your finger bullshit in the face of striking.
