Again, not an expert on French law, but in the US you can just hire someone else to do the job in the case of most strikes. pejoratively called scabs.

It's illegal for employers to hire fixed-term employees in this case: https://www.service-public.fr/particuliers/vosdroits/F34

However, they can have volunteers fill the position: https://www.editions-tissot.fr/droit-travail/jurisprudence-s...

Interesting that it’s the case that they can have volunteers in french law given the context of reddit volunteers.
