Public Service Workers Should Not Have the Right to Strike

Firefighters, police, teachers, and even trash collectors all play important roles in our world. Without these public service workers, our communities would not be the same as they are now. For the benefit of our communities, public service workers should not have the right to strike.

When workers go on strike they don’t go to work for as long as it takes for them to get what they want. For certain jobs, if they go on strike they can affect people that they would usually help in their job. According to “Why Is It Rare for Public Sector Workers to Go on Strike by Mia Lewis”, “the general public would be in danger if police and firefighters did not report to work.” Not only would people in need of help get affected, so would many children and parents. As it says in ‘New York School Bus Strike: Sign of National Pressure on Unions by Stacy Teicher Khadaroo”, many parents were affected because they had to change their work schedule in order to take their children to school since the buses weren’t being used because of the strike.
The workers bosses get angry and annoyed and will not give them what they want and that will definitely affect them. According to “What Is a Strike? By Sharon Blumenstein”, “workers are not paid during a strike.” This means that since they are not coming to work they are using up time where they could be getting paid. Also in the same text it says that, “workers participating in a strike run the risk of losing their jobs if their employer decides to hire replacement workers.” Public service workers will have many bad consequences from their job by
