Strikes (Labor)

A labor strike occurs when workers collectively stop working to protest for better conditions, wages, or other work-related issues. It is a way for employees to leverage their collective power to negotiate with their employer. Strikes are often used as a last resort when negotiations fail. During a strike, workers typically refuse to perform their duties, resulting in operational disruptions for the employer. The goal is to draw attention to their concerns and push for improved terms. Strikes are protected by law in many countries, allowing workers to express their grievances legally and peacefully.
