Think about what has been forbidden.... the strike. The rest is ancillary information and why it must be included in a prepositional phrase. Focus on getting to the point of each sentence as quickly as you can.

"forbids.. from" and "prohibits to" wrong constructions. Instead, "forbids ... to.. " and "prohibits... from..." are right constructions.
