Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The action described in the scenario is a wildcat strike, which is a strike organized without the approval of the union leadership. This type of strike often occurs when workers are dissatisfied with the union's negotiating efforts or believe that a strike is necessary despite the union's reluctance to do so. Picketing is a form of protest in which workers march in front of their place of employment, typically while holding signs or banners. Organizing refers to efforts to form a union or improve working conditions. Negotiating involves discussions between management and union representatives to reach a collective bargaining agreement. A secondary boycott is a type of boycott that targets a company's suppliers or customers in an attempt to put pressure on the company.
