But back to the original question of as to whether the wildcat strike is right or not.

I agree that a lot of damage was done in the mid to late 20th century by some stupid strike tactics, and it is right that there should be some thought given before a workforce walks out and brings an industry or even a country to a standstill.

But, at the end of the day, it is still a person's right to withdraw their labour. If they and their colleagues feel that strongly, and whether their argument is right or wrong,no-one can force them to remain at work if they choose to strike.
