    the Civil Service Reform Act of 1978 prohibits federal unions from striking, as the work of the government is deemed too crucial to interrupt during union and management disagreements.

    sometimes they strike twice as proof of their striking

    When they have a real problem with a date, they get repunched.

    They strike so hard and so often, they must really want some relief!

    How does management get 'proof' a Mint employee has participated in 2 or more strikes?

    He's well struck!

    How do you know the strike is off? Somebody has to call it off!

    It’s considered an error to strike with a cap

    Q. In the early days of the Mint, why did the workers never strike?

    A. They had more pressing matters.
