3. A organized walk-out, usually union sanctioned, with the goal of gaining better working conditions.

1. No, strike that. That's not what I meant.

2. Allright, let's strike this bitch so we can all go get drunk.

3. Passerby: What's with the signs?

Get the strike mug.

Strike

The post-pandemic weapon of choice by underpaid and undervalued workers to paralyze or blackmail their employers, thanks to unions’ demands for higher pay and humane working conditions for these overworked and exhausted (or exploited) workers—their “illegal” actions would force the overpaid bosses or politicians to be on their knees if they won’t play ball.

Guesstimate how many man- and woman-hours would be lost this year as ambulance drivers, nurses, rail operators, and postal workers in the UK go on coordinated strikes this festive season.
