That would be determined by the Rules and bylaws of the Union. But, if its an authorized strike, called by the Union (not an unauthorized "wildcat" strike by workers without Union sanction), then the Union is not going to be too happy with scabs who did not stand with them.
A union strike is when union members (workers) stop working and often protest outside the building while the union leaders bargain collectively with the employer.
Strike while the iron is hot! The union workers are on strike for better wages.

"On strike" means they do not go to work in protest of something they think is unfair.

Yes, but not immediately. The workers ended up going back to work once the strike ended and they had to sign waivers saying they would not join any union and they were punished. Some workers were fired, some lost their pension rights, etc. But the next year (1920), 11 labourors won seats in the Manitoba government, 4 of which were strike leaders. With their help, 20 years later, things improved. Now, we have good wages and good working conditions all thanks to the Winnipeg General Strike.
Yes, any group of employees with the exception of employees under the Taylor Law (civil service employees ie. police, fire, etc.)You can strike, but it would just be missing work and you can be fired.If you have a union, you can still be fired for going on strike. Example (NWA Aircraft Mechanics)
