Economic strikers defined. If the object of a strike is to obtain from the employer some economic concession such as higher wages, shorter hours, or better working conditions, the striking employees are called economic strikers. They retain their status as employees and cannot be discharged, but they can be replaced by their employer. If the employer has hired bona fide permanent replacements who are filling the jobs of the economic strikers when the strikers apply unconditionally to go back to work, the strikers are not entitled to reinstatement at that time. However, if the strikers do not obtain regular and substantially equivalent employment, they are entitled to be recalled to jobs for which they are qualified when openings in such jobs occur if they, or their bargaining representative, have made an unconditional request for their reinstatement.

The answer is essentially no, replacement workers and lockouts are complicated, and are not going to happen.

Seems like it'd be an easy way for the Co. to essentially drop the union.
"Okay here you go guys, all your demand with the exception of fair raises. Ohhh, unfair wage strike? Bring in the scabs, sorry guys bye bye"

The biggest hurdle, and they would be many would be actually finding replacements….
And train them
Plus get them all DOT cards

Absolutely. I remember delivery packages at 10 at night in a rental with zero area knowledge. Only to come back to the building and told I have 3 hours of availability on Saturday and need to show up.
