Nolo’s Plain-English Law Dictionary. . 2009.

strike
A concerted stoppage of work by workers with the purpose of disrupting the employer's business. A stoppage merely to hold a meeting during working hours is not a strike. A strike can be either a continuous stoppage or a series of single-day stoppages. For the purposes of the balloting requirements under TULRCA, neither an overtime ban nor a call-out ban counts as a strike; they are counted instead as industrial action short of a strike.

Short Dictionary of (mostly American) Legal Terms and Abbreviations.

strike
   1) v. to remove a statement from the record of the court proceedings by order of the judge due to impropriety of a question, answer or comment to which there has been an objection. Often after a judge has stricken some comment or testimony (an answer made before an objection has stopped the witness), he/she admonishes (warns) the jury not to consider the stricken language, but the jury has a hard time forgetting since "a bell once rung cannot be unrung."
   2) v. to order that language in a pleading (a complaint or an answer, for example) shall be removed or no longer be of any effect, usually after a motion by the opposing party and argument, on the basis that the language (which may be an entire cause of action) is not proper pleading, does not state a cause of action (a valid claim under the law) or is not in proper form.
   3) n. the organized refusal of workers to remain on the job, usually accompanied by demands for a union contract, higher wages, better conditions or other employee desires, and possibly including a picket line to give voice to workers' demands and discourage or intimidate other workers and customers from entering the business, factory or store.
