Huh, the Police in the US are allowed to strike?

Must admit, that makes me realise some of the stereotypes I hold about American attitudes to unionism are in need of revision.

In most jurisdictions police can't literally strike. But it's tough to prevent them from calling in sick, or force them to actually work when out on patrol.
