Specialized legal regimes for organized labor do not extend rights to other groups

Evidence

Avoidance of specific jurisprudence for demonstrations has an interesting pair of effects. When states create special legal regimes for strikes, trade unions, professional societies, or voluntary associations, to some extent they segregate the particular institution from more general definitions of rights and obligations. That under specified legal conditions organized industrial workers have the right to lay down their tools does not necessarily authorize farm laborers, government employees, or university students to strike against farms, governments, or universities. — Charles Tilly, Regimes and Repertoires, 1197
