I think it follows from supply/demand that capitalism applies. If the nurses cut supply then demand goes up and eventually the consumer (government) has to pay more, unless they (government) introduce artificial (socialist regulatory authority) to make the strike illegal. |

So the US government of 1920's was socialist, is that why they ordered the military to carpet bomb striking miners?

The word socialist has meaning, it doesn't mean 'bad guys'. It means siding with workers in their dispute with capital.
There can be times when it's the wrong this to do, but claiming that strike-breaking is socialist is like claiming that French Revolution was monarchist
