Strikes and Pickets

Strikes and pickets are actions taken by workers to express their grievances and demand better conditions from employers. A strike occurs when employees stop working to pressure their employer into negotiation over issues like pay, hours, or safety. Picketing involves workers gathering outside their workplace to protest and raise awareness about their cause. Both actions are forms of collective bargaining, allowing employees to unite and have a stronger voice in negotiations. While legal in many places, they may lead to tensions between workers and employers, highlighting the importance of communication and compromise in labor relations.
