Answer 2

Answer 3

im going with a

Answer 4

Lockout - Tactic used by employers in labor disputes - In which employees are locked out of the workplace or otherwise denied employment -

Answer 5

there are many definition of lockouts though. so that is what confused me. i think slowing down the whole job process would make the management break and agree to whatever it is they want.

Answer 6

A slowdown - Is an industrial action in which employees perform their duties but seek to reduce productivity or efficiency in their performance of these duties.
A slowdown may be used as either a prelude or an alternative to a strike - As it is seen as less disruptive as well as less risky and costly for workers and their union. Striking workers usually go unpaid and risk being replaced - So a slowdown is seen as a way to put pressure on management while avoiding these outcomes.
*Other times slowdowns are accompanied by intentional sabotage on the part of workers to provide further disruption.

Answer 7

Same here Lost!

Answer 8

but strikebreaker makes no sense because its just being employed with people on strike

alienation is just another word for isolation. and i dont see why isolation would help in any form. so

Answer 9

Same here - Which is why I didn't put the definition of them xD
I would stick with A - Slowdowns!
