Or nurses going on strike so we have to close hospitals?
At what point is it ok for governments to intervene?

Again, why is it up to the people with the least in their pockets and the most to lose to sacrifice for the greater good and not the people with the most in their pockets and the least to lose?
EDIT: FTR, if there is a public safety issue, I do not support a full-blown strike. However, refusing call-outs and OT should absolutely be on the table. If that causes a safety issue, that's on the employer for not ensuring adequate staffing.
