I think right to strike is fundamental. A worker/employee transaction is nothing more than a basic supply/demand relationship. If you don't want to pay X dollars for the good and/or service, you don't get it. When there are a ton of workers competing for the same job, wages go down. When there aren't any workers for a job, the wages go up. The company will not pay you one red cent more than they think you're worth. What if you know you're worth more? Either find a different job, or force the company to pay you what you think you're worth. What if you can't force them to pay you more? You leave. That's it. It's very simple, no one entity controls all of the power, and disallowing the right to strike gives all authority to the company. Think about Walmart employees. Whether or not you think their jobs are menial, somebody needs to do them, and that people must to be paid. If it's so easy to replace these people, then they should be fired and replaced immediately. If not, then you pay more. I think you get the picture here.
