strike committee
Labor action organizers
A strike committee is a group of workers elected or appointed to organize and lead a labor strike.
The committee typically coordinates picket lines, communicates with union leadership and management, handles logistics like food and funds for striking workers, and makes tactical decisions about the strike's conduct.
The strike committee voted to reject the company's latest offer.
In major strikes, the committee often serves as the workers' primary voice in negotiations.
