Generally if it is an illegal strike, it means you can be legally fired, not that you will be taken to jail.

Jail is always an option when someone is subject to contempt of court. In other states it's the individual teachers who get automatically fined, not the union. Contempt of court could also apply to the individuals if the judge wanted to make it so.

Not civil contempt :) I don't know of any modern case in the US where so eone has ever been jailed for striking, even wildcat.
