If the phrase "reduce output" includes being asked to work overtime and refusing to do so, then it also includes being asked to work 24-hour shifts and refusing to do so, since a 24-hour shift is overtime (assuming the normal shift is less than 24 hours). Then if to "reduce output" means to strike, an employer can ask its employees to work shifts of arbitrary lengths and if they refuse they can be considered to be striking. If this is not the case, then please explain where the cutoff point is.
- lesuorac 4y agoThe cutoff point is when it's a "concerted activity on the part of employees designed to restrict or limit output". It's pretty simple if you just read any of the linked documentation.
- deadbeeves 4y agoOkay, so if the employer asks its employees to work 24-hour shifts instead of the normal 8 hours and they agree amongst themselves to refuse, is that a strike or not?
