What term describes employees' refusal to work as a form of industrial action?

• A. Lockout
• B. Walkout
• C. Go-slow
• D. Strike Action

Answer: (D)

When workers collectively refuse to work to push for changes, that is strike action. It’s the standard term for employees stopping work as a form of industrial action to pressure the employer during negotiations. The other terms describe different situations: a lockout is when the employer shuts down operations; a walkout is a short-term departure by employees; a go-slow is when workers deliberately reduce their output without fully leaving the job. So, the described behavior fits strike action.
