Answer to Question 1

The court rejected the contention that strikes by public employees will pressure public employers into making extraordinary concessions, thus granting employees and their unions excessive bar-gaining power that distorts the political process. The majority found that the power of striking employees is tempered by several pragmatic factors, such as the fact that most governmental services are not essential so the employer will not be forced to settle at any cost in order to continue vital services to the public and the fact that lost wages are significant to strikers. In the case before the court, the union did not obtain any additional wages or benefits as a result of its strike.
