What is a virtual strike?
In the world of labor relations, a strike is a useful tool for labor to signal to the company that the union can accept some pain (in the form of lost wages) for longer than the company can lose profits. This is done to achieve some sort of concession like wage or not having children work longer than 12 hours a day. One of the tricks with striking is giving the impression that you could continue striking for another day or week but at the same time not posturing that you will never go back to work, which is not credible. Usually one side backs down when the costs of the strike get close to their best alternative to negotiated agreement.
