As a rule striking workers do not get paid by there employers. If the industrial action being taken is santioned by the Trade union then the union has funds that ensure that the workers are paid for there actions.

Labor unions view striking as a crucial tool for several reasons. It serves as a powerful means of collective action to demonstrate solidarity among workers and leverage their bargaining power against employers. Strikes can draw public attention to labor disputes, pressuring employers to negotiate better wages, benefits, and working conditions. Additionally, the potential economic impact of a strike often compels employers to engage in meaningful discussions to resolve issues.
Workers' Compensation was an insurance fund financed by employers.
Strikes do not always work because they can lead to significant economic losses for both workers and employers, which may weaken the bargaining position of the striking workers. Additionally, public opinion can sway against strikers if the action disrupts daily life or essential services. Employers may also respond with countermeasures, including hiring replacement workers or implementing legal challenges, which can undermine the effectiveness of the strike. Lastly, not all workers may be willing to participate, leading to a lack of solidarity and diminished impact.
