The original article is worth a read. "Yet it is the peculiar genius of our society that its rulers have figured out a way ... to ensure that rage is directed precisely against those who actually do get to do meaningful work. For instance: in our society, there seems a general rule that, the more obviously one's work benefits other people, the less one is likely to be paid for it. Again, an objective measure is hard to find, but one easy way to get a sense is to ask: what would happen were this entire class of people to simply disappear? Say what you like about nurses, garbage collectors, or mechanics, it's obvious that were they to vanish in a puff of smoke, the results would be immediate and catastrophic."

I've actually never read it but watched a movie version awhile ago - do people strike in it?

And I haven’t seen the movie but I doubt it did it service. I’ll check it out and see I’m currently on my third re-reading of it. This, like a few others (animal farm, farenheit 451, 1984, brave new world) get a periodic revisit by me to keep my brain and suspicions alive

Not specifically. It’s more about the lazy corrupt bleeding the hardworking dry. When the “doers” - the capable, the ones keeping everything running - decide they’ve had enough, they stop. It’s not giving up; it’s pulling back their effort to show the world can’t function without them. In that way it’s like a strike. But totally different energy
