As soon as we exercise the right to strike they will attempt to A) beat us back into submission via lawfare and actual repression and B) bring in scabs

Thus we will be forced to defend ourselves, our communities and to prevent scabs from working. Sabotage of production may be required. Now property damage. Now we’re back at violence. Do you think the coal mining unions went to war with pinkertons and cops because they loved violence? It’s because they started with strikes and this is the route capital takes to escalate in response.
