Sure but a strike implies not working at all

No. Most unions will support employees not crossing picket lines. Good luck getting Teamsters, who are working and collecting paychecks, to drive a truck past strikers.

You’re telling me this thread spent dozens of comments over semantics (”implies”)? Jeez. Just use a goddamn different word if you prefer.

There's some other things that are called strikes like when the workers follow regulations strictly in a way that makes normal operations impossible.

Which has the problem of striking for the reason that company X paid the transport union to not deliver products for competitor company Y, so that's why usually laws limit that principle.

I would have thought that such “corrupt unions” snipes would be off-topic here but you do you.
