And ehm, what is on strike?

Yeah I just realised that literally as you quoted me

The teachers, about money as usual. Think it was pensions this time, but I give up caring what they strike about, purely because they do it so often. Luckily the way my lessons are set out, I don't miss any teachers due to strikes, but some of my friends have. It's a bit unfair on them if they don't do as well with results.

Do you mean the definition of the term "on strike"? I thought you were asking me what was on strike today, apologies. It's basically a mass refusal by employees to work, which is motivated by a cause. For instance, if a company were minimising all employee wages by 75%, you'd be pretty annoyed and by working as a unit, you're more likely to get the company in question to reconsider. They're usually held by trade unions.

Did you just not look that up in a dictionary or Google translate so you could get 3 extra posts here?

A strike is when 10 dissatisfied employees stand close together and someone knocks them all down with 1 hit.

Or when you hit 10 skittles over with a bowling pin in one attempt

Ah, haven't been bowling in a while. Shame, because I enjoy it.

Bowling has changed. Instead of pins, they use people now and instead of bowling balls, you have to use medicine balls to try and knock down as many people as possible.
