In the United States, management and unions engage in a periodic ritual of negotiating an agreement for wages, benefits, hours, and working conditions. Disputes can arise during this process, and sometimes the workers go on strike to compel agreement on their terms. Such an action, known as an economic strike, is permitted by law, but strikes are rare today. Strikers are not paid while they are on strike, and few workers want to undertake this hardship unnecessarily.
