strikers

Walkout protest participants

Strikers are workers who refuse to work as a form of protest, typically to pressure employers over wages, conditions, or other grievances: The strikers formed a picket line outside the factory.

In soccer, a striker is a forward whose primary role is scoring goals.

More generally, anyone or anything that strikes—a clock's hammer, a tool for igniting matches.
