| Message | If the employer doesn't think they should get a pay rise, and productivity is down, why not? |

| Message | (They obviously must think they can get someone else, otherwise they were striking for a good reason.) |

| Message | But under this option, they would be able to fire workers if the strike was unreasonable, like in the senario you have a spelled out. However, this also prevents employers from keeping workers from getting better pay through unionization. |
