An industrial dispute British EnglishBrE/labour dispute British EnglishBrE/labor dispute American EnglishAmE is a disagreement between managers and workers of a company, sometimes resulting in a strike. If workers want to protest against their employer, they may take various forms of industrial action, such as going on strike or striking, a go slow (=when workers deliberately work as slowly as possible), or working to rule British EnglishBrE/working to contract American EnglishAmE (=doing their job less quickly or effectively than normal, but without breaking the employer’s rules or the terms of their contract). A walkout is an occasion when workers stop working and leave their office or factory as a protest. A lock-out is when people are prevented from entering their place of work until they have agreed to accept the conditions set down by their employer. During a strike, there is often a picket line (=group of workers) who stand outside the factory or place where they work in order to protest about something and to ask other people not to go to work. In the UK, if workers in one factory or company strike to support the striking workers in a different factory or company, this is known as secondary action, which has been illegal since 1980. strikestrike2 verb (past tensepst and past participlepp struck /strʌk/) 1[intransitiveI]HUMAN RESOURCES to deliberately stop working for a time because of a disagreement about pay, working conditions etc In many countries, police officers are forbidden to strike. strike for Dock workers are striking for more pay. 2strike a deal/bargainCOMMERCE to make an agreement with someone The US and China have recently struck a deal over trade.
