How to use «Strikes» in context?

There have been Strikes throughout history. They have ranged from small walkouts to complete work stoppages. There are many reasons for a strike. Some workers may feel that their union has not been effective in negotiating a satisfactory contract and thus choose to take action. Others may feel that their job is too dangerous or miserable to continue working. Still others may believe that the company’s policies are unfair and refuse to participate in them. Whatever the reason, strikes can have a powerful impact on both the workers involved and the overall economy.
