Hendry: Most employee strikes should be legally permitted. But strikes by university faculty are an exception. Faculty strikes harm a university’s students, and I accept the principle that an employee strike shouldn’t be legally permitted if it would harm the employer’s customers.

Menkin: If your principle is correct, then, contrary to what you claim, employee strikes should almost never be legally permitted.

Speaker 1 Summary

Hendry concludes that strikes by university faculty should not be permitted. This is because strikes by employees shouldn’t be permitted if they harm the employer’s customers, faculty strikes harm a university’s students. Hendry also acknowledges that most employee strikes should be legally permitted.

Speaker 2 Summary

Menkin says that if Hendry’s principle (strikes aren’t permitted if they harm the employer’s customers) is true, employee strikes should almost never be legally permitted.
