Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A jurisdictional strike is one through which a union seeks to pressure an employer to assign particular work to its members, rather than to member of other unions or to non-union workers.
Key Takeaway: Option A refers to a sympathy strike where employees choose not to cross a picket line out of support for striking workers. A strike which occurs even though the collective bargaining agreement contains a no-strike clause is a wildcat strike (option C). A strike used by a union to pressure an employer to grant some sort of concession from the employer during collective bargaining negotiations is an economic strike.
