labor strike

A labor strike is a collective action where workers stop working to express grievances, typically regarding wages, working conditions, or benefits. It is a tool used to apply pressure on employers to negotiate better terms. Strikes are usually organized by a workers' union and are intended to highlight issues, improve conditions, or influence company policies or labor laws. During a strike, employees cease their duties, which can disrupt normal operations. While often effective, strikes also involve careful planning, legal considerations, and potential economic consequences for both workers and employers.
