HR Glossary

What is Strike?

A collective work stoppage by employees intended to pressure an employer into meeting demands related to wages, benefits, working conditions, or other employment terms, recognized as a fundamental labor right in most countries.

Why it matters in hiring

Strike comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
