Industrial actions are activities undertaken by workers, often organized by trade unions, to express their dissatisfaction with working conditions, pay, or other employment terms. These actions can include strikes, where employees refuse to work, or work-to-rule, where they only perform their job as strictly defined, slowing down operations.
The goal of industrial actions is to pressure employers to negotiate and improve conditions. While these actions can disrupt business operations, they are a legal means for workers to advocate for their rights and interests, often leading to negotiations between employers and unions.
