industrial actions

Industrial actions refer to collective activities taken by workers, usually organized by trade unions, to express their dissatisfaction with working conditions or negotiate better terms. Common forms include strikes—where workers refuse to work, work-to-rule—where they only perform the minimum required duties, and picketing—where employees stand outside a workplace to protest. These actions aim to pressure employers to address issues like pay, safety, or job security. While they can disrupt business operations, industrial actions are a legitimate way for workers to assert their rights and seek improvements in their work environment.
