Strike
(redirected from strikes hands)

   Also found in: Dictionary/thesaurus, Medical, Legal, Encyclopedia 0.02 sec.
Strike
The collective action in which employees do not come to work as a form of protest. That is, in a strike, workers deprive employers of their services. Often, though not always, strikers also stand outside their workplace to stage protests. A strike occurs when employees wish to force the employer to pay them better wages or benefits or to improve working conditions. Strikes are usually orchestrated by a union.
