A strike, by definition, cannot be illegal. It's an established form of protest which may or may not lead to firing. Despite the results of the strike, the protest itself is not illegal, nor is walking out of a job. At least from both a moral standpoint.

Wrong. A strike, by definition, as actually defined in federal law, can indeed be illegal.

>It's an established form of protest which may or may not lead to firing.

Wrong. It's an established form of protest which may or may not result in criminal fillings because it is illegal federally for federal employees.

>Despite the results of the strike, the protest itself is not illegal, nor is walking out of a job.

Despite the results of the strike, the protest itself is illegal, as is walking out of federal jobs (in a strike).

You literally can't be any more wrong.
