It depends on the industry. About 10 years ago there was a government shutdown that looked to have no end in sight. If my memory is correct, air traffic controllers were told they had to work with no pay until the government shutdown ended. They got fed up, walked off their jobs, and almost immediately, the government shutdown was over.
The only us air traffic controller strike was in the Reagan years, and it did not have a happy ending
