That would take away the only real world power workers have. Forcing someone to work under conditions they've chosen to strike is regressive, to say the least. Strikes are supposed to be painful. Vent your frustration against management, which is apparently unwilling to conduct good faith negotiations with transit workers without some painful persuasion.
