Why do workers go on strike?

Workers go on strike for different reasons, to get improvements where they work, for more money, for shorter working days, to stop their wages going down, because they think their company has been unfair.

When a trade union is unable to negotiate a collective agreement, they sometimes choose to strike an employer. A strike includes, a cessation of work, a refusal to work or a refusal to continue to work, by two or more employees for the purpose of compelling their employer to agree to terms or conditions of employment.

Strike

Strike is a work stoppage caused by the mass refusal by employees to perform work. A strike usually takes place in response to employee grievances. Strikes became important during the industrial revolution, when mass labour became important in factories and mines. In most countries, they were quickly made illegal, as factory owners had far more political power than workers. Most western countries partially legalized striking in the late 19th or early 20th centuries. Strikes are sometimes used to put pressure on governments to change policies. Occasionally, strikes destabilise the rule of a particular political party.
