| | Strike action - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Strikes have also been used to force governments to change policies or even to bring down a government. | | | The federal government most recently invoked these statutory provisions to obtain an injunction against a slowdown by the International Longshore and Warehouse Union in 2002. | | | United States labor law also draws a distinction, in the case of private sector employers covered by the National Labor Relations Act, between "economic" and "unfair labor practice" strikes. |
