We can't.

I've signed Standard Form 61, which after that good old civil servant oath of office which you say we have failed to uphold time and time again states this:

B. AFFIDAVIT AS TO STRIKING AGAINST THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
I am not participating in any strike against the Government of the United States or any agency thereof, and I will not so participate while an employee of the Government of the United States or any agency thereof.
I mean I could go ahead and strike if I wanted but I wouldn't have a job afterwards.

And with H.R. 1881, the Transportation Security Workforce Enhancement Act of 2009 possibly passing and switching all of us from me and Dean up to Castro and onto FSDs into the General Schedule... there's a little provision which states that this law reaffirms that we have no right to strike.
