Nah, they'll pull a Reagan and tell everyone striking that they're fired.

"Fun" fact: Reagan's little stunt with the air traffic controllers left the government with a severe shortage in talent and experience in air traffic controllers for a good decade afterwards. Turns out you can't just fire everyone in the country who does a given job without consequences, particularly with a job that is high stress.
