Both parties must fulfill the legitimate terms of the contract. If the employer fulfills the rights of the workers, then the workers are obligated to perform their work diligently and adhere to the regulations. If the employer defaults on their duties, then the workers have the right to demand their rights. If the employer is obstinate, then there is no blame on the workers for refusing to work until their rights are fulfilled.
