go slow
Proceed with caution
Go slow is a deliberate reduction of work pace by employees as a form of protest or pressure, stopping short of a full strike.
Workers perform their duties but at minimum speed, reducing output while technically remaining on the job: The union called a go slow until management agreed to negotiate.
Chiefly British; Americans typically say slowdown.
