rolling strike
Staggered labor stoppage
A rolling strike is a labor action where workers in different departments, locations, or shifts strike in sequence rather than all at once.
The strategy keeps pressure on employers while preserving strike funds and maintaining some operations: The union announced rolling strikes across three plants, hitting a different facility each week.
The unpredictability can be more disruptive than a conventional walkout.
