What is in your "resistance box"? Sounds a bit sinister.

I think it was a literal translation of "caja de resistencia". From what I can gather it's a fund, usually managed by the union, to help alleviate financial hardship as a result of workers striking.

Sounds just like a collective rainy-day fund to afford losing your wage during a strike.

Sounded like a weapons cache to me! But I was sure it was actually something more reasonable.

In the US it is called a 'strike fund.'
