Striking should be legal, but firing employees for striking should also be legal.
Doing so would prevent people from striking against unfair conditions, because they would lose the ability to feed themselves, and so would rather suffer bad working conditions. If you care at all about human beings, you should not be able to fire people simply because they voice their concerns about unfair working conditions, etc.

This is the part where a basic social safety net comes in.
In Sweden we have a very good social safety net, but just that isn't enough.

Think about it this way: how do I fire the corporations that I’m forced to patronize? Can you survive modern life without buying a single product from Unilever/Nestle/P&G/J&J? How do you make a video call to your family without Google/Apple/Microsoft/Meta being involved? How do I make a phone call without AT&T/Verizon/T-Mobile? Can I buy a microwave that isn’t manufactured by Midea, LG, Panasonic, or Samsung? What about an LCD/OLED panel that isn’t made by LG or Samsung? How do I fly anywhere without Boeing or Airbus? How do I buy a phone/computer without patronizing Foxconn, Qualcomm, TSMC, or Samsung?
Corporations get a captive audience of consumers but they’re allowed to fire people for negotiating the terms of their employment? That doesn’t seem balanced to me.

Daily reminder that Norway has NHO, a national union for employers/enterprises. (I don’t like it but it is what is.)
This is particularly ironic coming from Elon Musk, net worth $245Bn in a country where
“44.2 million people lived in households that had difficulty getting enough food to feed everyone in 2022”
