strike rights

Labor action entitlements

Strike rights are the legal protections allowing workers to collectively stop work as a form of protest or bargaining leverage.

These rights vary by country and often come with restrictions—requirements for advance notice, cooling-off periods, or limitations on which workers can strike.

Teachers in that state have limited strike rights.

The term usually appears in discussions of labor law and union negotiations.
