Work disputes - Strikes
Striking is a complete stoppage of work by workers. However, working slowly or under deliberately defective conditions, without actually stopping work (‘go-slow’ strike) does not constitute a real strike and may be regarded as a misdemeanour that can result in disciplinary sanctions.

The purpose of a strike is to defend professional demands concerning, for instance, pay (salary increase, restoration of a bonus, etc.), working conditions (heating of the premises, means of transport), work schedule or working hours, the employment situation (redundancies, etc.), corporate strategy (new commercial policy, etc.).
