A strike doesnt have to mean a work stoppage.
If you're at a factory–keep making stuff, but be real hard on the machines, and take all the product home with you at end of shift. Maybe sell it on e-bay for union dues or give it out to the community.
If you're a mechanic; keep fixing cars fir people whose cars you want to work, but dont charge them, or use the best parts while saying you used cheap ones. Do a fun elaborate high efficiency rebuild for the single mom with the disintegrating engine who just came in to get that weird noise looked at. Sabotage the personal car of that cop that came in. Steal stuff. Bill the rich assholes you don't want to see again for everyone else's repairs.
If you're a school teacher–show up and teach real american history. Start off with Iran-contra, cointelpro, whatever you think will light a fire in your students. Communist literature, useful everyday black hat shit, the chemistry of tear gas, evolutionary advantage of homosexuality or why 'biological sex' is a goofy idea, authoritarian psychology, whatever's in your wheelhouse.
If you're in medicine–keep doing your job, but do it to your and your union's standards. Give out free drugs at the hospitals expense (maybe keep tracking the addictive stuff) bill everything to a board member fudge patient info so insurance will pay. Or just treat all patients who show up while skipping insurance or billing info that day, and record the efficiency gains.
Generally reclaim or sabotage the means of production in whatever ways you touch, for whatever causes you think are cool.
