  1. sympathy strike

    A sympathy strike is a labor action in which workers who are not directly involved in a labor dispute with their own employer, engage in a strike to support or show solidarity with another group of workers who are involved in a labor conflict. The purpose is to put pressure on the employer of the workers who are involved in the original dispute. This action usually arises when there are shared concerns about working conditions, wages or other labor terms that are considered unfair or unfavorable.
