strike committees

Labor action organizers

Strike committees are groups of workers organized to coordinate and direct a labor strike.

They handle logistics like picket schedules, communication with management, distribution of strike funds, and decisions about when to negotiate or return to work.

The strike committee voted to reject the company's latest offer.

During major industrial actions, strike committees often become the de facto leadership of the workforce.
