There are also laws in the US that prevent certain people from striking. Simply signing a phone contract or registering on a website these days eliminates your constitutional rights, like to trial by jury. The laws are written by corporations and people are just now realizing that freedom never really existed, at least not to the extend they were lead to believe.
The seventh amendment does in fact lay out trial by jury in civil cases, but it was decided in the supreme court that states were not required to provide jury trials in civil cases; but many of them do provide it until you supposedly "voluntarily" wave it to do things like purchase essential goods and services like a motor vehicle or Internet service.
