You’re right that Congress has the ability to pass new directives that could stop a private strike.

My original comment was assuming that Congress in its current state would be unable to pass such legislation.



I don't think that argument holds water either. Not too long ago, Congress passed legislation to prevent the railroad strike.[1] The fact that it was a bill that didn't capitulate to the union demands also shows the govt isn't inherently pro-union.
