A workers' strike is a collective action taken by employees to protest against their employer, often demanding better working conditions, higher wages, or other benefits. During a strike, workers stop performing their job duties to exert pressure on the employer to address their grievances. Strikes can occur in various industries, including manufacturing, education, and healthcare. Strikes are typically organized by labor unions, which represent the interests of workers. The goal is to negotiate a new contract or agreement that satisfies both parties. Strikes can lead to significant disruptions in services and production, impacting not only the employer but also customers and the broader economy.
