Strikes and Boycotts

Strikes and boycotts are forms of protest used to influence employers or organizations. A strike involves workers refusing to perform their jobs until their demands, such as better pay or conditions, are addressed. It directly impacts production and can pressure the employer to negotiate. A boycott, on the other hand, is a collective refusal to purchase or use a company’s goods or services to create economic pressure. Both strategies aim to advocate for change without violence, relying on economic influence and collective action to bring attention to grievances and prompt negotiations.
