I'm not sure to what degree you're intending to be hyperbolic, but "a strike from all employees" isn't something that is legally possible right now at SWA. I'm not certain how many of our employee groups are even in negotiations at the moment, let alone in mediation, which is a necessary prequisite for the credible threat of a strike to even begin to become possible sometime down the road under the RLA.

Employee groups can't legally just walk off the job in response to an event or series of events. The proven surest way to strip a union of leverage at the bargaining table is for it's members to engage in an illegal job action by doing something like you possibly seem to be proposing.

Take the case of the ABX pilots. In 2016, they engaged in what the the court determined was an illegal job action. They ended up spending 2,342 days in mediation before settling their contract in 2021. The average number of days spent in mediation of NMB dispute cases closed from 2017 through 2022? 611, or 562 if adjusted for the pause in negotiations during the pandemic. An illegal job action gives a mediator lots of ammunition to keep a case in mediation far beyond the average length of time in mediation.

Employee unions have to methodically walk down the RLA path if they want to be able to wave the strength of the strongest economic weapon available to labor in the face of management. They can't go wildcat.

If they're able to exhibit the patience to play the RLA game as it's required to be played, though, and not balk as their leverage is just beginning to ramp up the way that the Alaska and Delta pilots balked over the last few months, the amount of pressure that can be brought to bear on management can exceed by orders of magnitude the pressure created by any other tool available to them.
