Homonym: strike (Hit)
A "strike" is a work stoppage initiated by employees to express grievances or demand better working conditions, wages, or benefits. It is often organized by labor unions, which represent the workers' interests. Strikes can vary in duration and scale, from a few hours to several weeks, and can involve various industries.
During a strike, workers typically refuse to perform their job duties, which can disrupt business operations. Strikes are a form of collective bargaining, allowing employees to negotiate with employers. Notable examples include the United Auto Workers strike and the Teachers' Union strikes, which have drawn public attention to labor issues.
