The Strike

A strike is when workers collectively stop working to protest working conditions, pay, or other issues, usually to pressure their employer to meet their demands. It’s a form of industrial action that aims to draw attention to workers’ concerns and negotiate better terms. During a strike, workers typically do not perform their regular duties, which can disrupt operations. Employers and workers may negotiate to resolve the dispute, and strikes are often protected by labor laws, provided they follow certain legal procedures. The goal is to improve conditions for workers while balancing the needs of the employer and public.
