Strikes may be rare, but it is noteworthy that they have been occurring more frequently in recent years.

It is prudent for HR professionals to consider including a strategy for responding to picket lines and protests in their company’s operational plan, especially given the compliance risk and remedies for situations that are not handled properly. In your initial post, analyze whether public employees should have the right to organize and have the right to strike.

If yes, what groups should be permitted to have the right to strike and which should not have the same right and why?

Guided Response: Review several of your classmates’ posts and respond to at least two of your peers by 11:59 p.m. on Day 7 of the week. You are encouraged to post your required replies early during the week to promote more meaningful interactive discourse in the discussion.

Provide additional or different opinions as to whether public employees should have the right to organize and strike. Why or why not? Do you think there is an alternative to public employees striking? Why or why not? Support your statements with scholarly and/or credible sources.
