Words matter. Framing matters. This headline is quite biased, implying that the striking clerks are the cause of the "hobbled" courts. The Voice is starting the discussion in the middle, a common (if perhaps unconscious) tactic of mainstream media to put the onus on striking laborers rather than the system that exploits them and causes them to strike.
I suggest the more accurate:
County courts to be hobbled by "eight years without a pay raise, unsafe work conditions, reduced hours and staff shortages"
