Thats fine for a factory worker or a lawyer, but not a doctor or a policeman. If they don't feel a sense of duty then they should quit in favour of a better person.
I understand this sense of duty thing you are talking about , but reality check here. Doctors and policemen do go on strike because they know they can get , and feel entitled to a better deal.
The sense of duty argument is often brought up , but can be countered with the idea that the workers in general acknowledge that their present employment contract is unfair and disrespects their sense of duty.

But on the other hand such people should not feel the need to strike, because their service should be respected
Exactly, And in this wonderful rampant capitalist economy respect comes with a $.

But on the other hand the workers and management should be able to put facts and figures together to justify their cases. Not rely on emotive arguments such as duty and honor which belong more in the tabloids.
