strike actions
Organized labor stoppages
Strike actions are organized work stoppages by employees to pressure employers during labor disputes.
Workers collectively refuse to work until demands are met—typically for better wages, conditions, or benefits.
The term covers various forms: full walkouts, slowdowns, and sympathy strikes supporting other workers.
The union voted to authorize strike actions if negotiations failed.
