Wildcat strike meaning in kannada

ಕಾಡುಬೆಕ್ಕಿನ ಮುಷ್ಕರ

  • Definitions

    1. A labour strike that has not been authorized by the leaders of a trade union.

    ಟ್ರೇಡ್ ಯೂನಿಯನ್ ನಾಯಕರಿಂದ ಅಧಿಕೃತಗೊಳಿಸದ ಕಾರ್ಮಿಕ ಮುಷ್ಕರ.

  • Examples:
    1. Despite the progressive provisions of the 1974 labor agreement, there were more wildcat strikes in the bituminous coal industry in 1974 than ever before in history. The record in 1975 was worse than in 1974; in 1976 it was worse than in 1975; and 1977 is headed toward yet another record high in wildcat strike activity.

    2. During the past two decades, as the incidence of industrial disputes, wildcat strikes, and mass workers' disputes became widespread in China, the question of union organisation has drawn increasing attention both at home and abroad.

    3. It [the Taft–Hartley Act] labels certain union practices as "unfair" and permits the NLRB [National Labor Relations Board] to take action to stop them. These unfair practices include wildcat strikes (walking off the job without taking a strike vote), sympathy strikes (striking to demonstrate support of strikers in another company), jurisdictional strikes (disputes between unions over their right to represent workers), secondary boycotts (refusal of workers to handle goods made by some other company whose workers are striking), and featherbedding (requiring an employer to use unnecessary labor).

    4. Organized workers must have their strike backed by the union. If the employer can bargain with his workers only through the union, the workers must also use the same channel. Hence "wildcat" strikes are outlawed, unless the circumstances are so unusual that the unions have ceased really to represent the workers and are repudiated by them.

    5. The wildcat strike differs considerably from authorized strikes. In the first place, the wildcat generally comes as a complete surprise, while management is usually notified well in advance when an authorized strike is to take place. Once the walkout starts, the supervisor’s labor relations job is twofold: to prevent the wildcat strike’s spread; and to put into writing information that would support the company’s discipline of wildcatters as set forth in the contract and in law.
