A big part of the problem is those most impacted by these policies cannot afford to take time off to strike or protest. And I'm not sure if it's as bad in America as it is in Canada but if there was a general labour strike, our Canadian politicians would just solve it by importing cheap labour.
That's why organization matters, it has to be big and it has to be sudden. "Importing" labor isn't immediate.
More likely they'll use back to work legislation and deploy the police, but then they'll remember why we have labor protections.
If they're going to tear up the social contract and take everything away from us then they'll see violence.
These laws exist because workers fought actual battles. Actual battles, domestically. If it must happen again it will.
Either way, most people aren't willing to risk being fired/missing pay/being arrested because they need that money to pay rent and feed themselves. You can be as organized as you want, the system has pushed most of us to being wage slaves that have very little say in the matter. Even if importing labour isn't immediate, i wouldn't put it past governments to still let the economy collapse while they import labour just to prove a point about who makes the rules and has the control.
I mean sure we can roll over and die too, future generations won't look as kindly on that though
