Labor strikes are organized work stoppages by employees to express grievances or demands regarding workplace issues, such as wages, working conditions, or benefits. Typically initiated by labor unions, strikes are a form of collective bargaining where workers collectively withhold their labor to pressure employers into negotiations. The goal of a labor strike is to reach a favorable agreement, improve labor conditions, or address disputes related to employment. Strikes can vary in duration and scale, and they may involve various tactics, such as picketing or public demonstrations, to garner support and visibility for the workers’ cause. Labor strikes are a fundamental aspect of labor relations and have historically played a significant role in shaping labor laws and policies.
