	Strike - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Strike is the generic name for a blunt, crushing attack made with or without a weapon.
		Striking weapons include the club, the mace and the war hammer and is probably the oldest category of weapons known to humans.
		Strike is also the event after the final performance of a theatrical work at which the set is disassembled, lighting instruments and costumes are removed and stored, and the theatre space is returned to a generally "neutral" or "empty state," in preparation for the load-in of the next show.

	AllRefer.com - strike (Labor) - Encyclopedia
		Strikes usually result from conflicts of interest between the employer, who seeks to reduce costs, and employees, who seek higher wages (or in times of depression try to stop wage decreases), shorter hours, better working conditions, union recognition, and/or improved fringe benefits.
		During the middle and late 1930s workers in the mass-production industries (especially in the automobile industry) perfected the technique of the sit-down, later declared illegal, which was designed to prevent strikebreaking; the workers remained on the premises while refusing to work.
		Another cause of strikes has been the jurisdictional dispute to determine which union should be the bargaining agent for the employees.

	Seattle General Strike Project
		was the first city-wide strike anywhere in the United States to be proclaimed a "general strike." It led off a tumultuous post-World War I era of labor conflict that saw massive strikes shut down the nation's steel, coal, and meat packing industries and threaten civil unrest in a dozen cities.

		The General Strike Committee, composed of delegates from the key striking unions, tried to coordinate vital services and negotiate with city officials, but events moved quickly beyond their control.

	General Strike
		The leaders of both the Trade Union Council and the Labour Party were unhappy about the proposed General Strike, and during the next two days frantic efforts were made to reach an agreement with the Conservative Government and the mine-owners.
		This was a piece of political folly; it did not (because it could not) prevent strikes; what it did was to make it more easy to victimize local strike-leaders and also to put obstacles in the way of the Unions contributing to the funds of their own political Party.
		I learned during the strike and the events which led to it how deceptive was the appearance of good humour and honest frankness which this adroit politician maintained.

		Often mass strikes take hold in times of general political upheaval, understanding the relationship between mass strikes and other social change struggles seems to me to be an essential and missed point in the book.
