The strike is a way of demonstrating, in which its participants or collaborators are held back from complying with the activities that they normally carry out, to cause inconvenience to those who govern and thus express their requirements or their complaints. The labor strike is the longest and most important, since they collectively suspend activities by employees with the purpose of improving the work environment, protesting against the reduction of their social rights.
According to the ILO International Labor Organization, it is one of the main legitimate resources established by citizens and particularly workers through trade union organizations and the trade union movement to promote and defend their social and economic interests.
How to strike the strike or collective is chosen cessation of work organized by a group of employees or the union, as a measure of reproach to claim a number of requests to be met by the employer.
The word strike is a noun that descends from the expression holgar, but at the same time, it comes from the late Latin follicāre, which means to blow or breathe.
The strikes were born in the 19th century when workers, overwhelmed by the injustices committed against them since the Industrial Revolution and backed by Marxist and anarchist opinions, began to request their rights, since there were no labor laws to protect them, and they were repressed to the wills of their employers, in addition that the conditions in which they worked were terrible not only the men, but the women, and pregnant women.
There are many kinds of strike. The hunger strike is particular since it consists of giving up food intake until the reason for it is resolved or at least heard. We also find the labor strike, the most recognized and popular internationally by the International Labor Organization, which states that the right to strike is one of the main and most legal rights that a worker and the organizations that group them have, for the promotion and defense of their social and economic interests. This consists of stopping doing their work for a certain time, with the aim of obtaining labor and social benefits.
