Detailed explanation-1: -Strike means an organized and intentional stoppage or slowdown of work by employees, intending to make the employer comply with the demands of the employees. For example, a strike may seek higher pay, better benefits, or safer working conditions.
Detailed explanation-2: -In northwest England in December 1762, sailors in Liverpool stopped work to demand a wage increase. And in 1765, coal miners across the North engaged in a prolonged stoppage. In April 1768, sailors in Sunderland prevented ships from leaving port by lowering down the yards (thus “striking” their sails).
Detailed explanation-3: -Workers may choose to protest unfair wages or other issues with their employer by going on strike. During a strike, workers do not provide any services to the company that employs them. However, there are rules against firing or otherwise retaliating against those who decide to go on a strike.
