Workers' strikes

A workers' strike is when employees collectively stop working to protest for better conditions, wages, or rights. It is a form of collective action used to pressure employers to make changes. Strikes typically involve workers refusing to perform their job duties until their demands are addressed. They are a legal way for employees to express dissatisfaction and advocate for improvements, often coordinated through unions or worker groups. Strikes can impact businesses and services but are generally a last resort after negotiations have failed. They highlight the power of collective action to influence workplace policies and labor practices.
