Walter and many of his fellow union members were angry over the poor vacation pay policy at the small-appliance factory where they worked, even though the union had agreed to it in the current contract
They decided to take action without the authorization of their union, and none of them showed up for work for the next week. Walter and his fellow employees were on their own; that is, they were not protected under national labor laws. What did Walter and the others do?
A) wildcat strike
B) sit-down strike
C) picket
D) boycott
E) sympathy strike
Answer: A
Explanation: A) A wildcat strike is a strike that is not authorized by the union during the period covered by the contract. Such strikes are not allowed because they remove strikers from the protection of national labor law.
