- See also general strike, or for other uses see: strike (disambiguation).
Strike action, often simply called a
strike is the mass refusal by
employees to perform
work due to certain
grievances. If an agreement could not be reached, workers could strike, or refuse to work until certain demands were met. Strikes first became important during the
industrial revolution, when mass
labour became important in
factories and
mines. In most countries they were quickly made illegal as factory owners had far more political power than the workers. Most western countries legalized striking partially in the late nineteenth or early twentieth century.
