sitdown
Work stoppage protest
A sitdown is a meeting or discussion, especially one arranged to address a conflict or negotiate: We need to have a sitdown about the budget.
The term suggests a formal or serious conversation where parties actually sit together.
A sitdown strike is one where workers occupy their workplace but refuse to work.
As an adjective, sit-down describes meals served at tables rather than buffet-style: a sit-down dinner.
