Which of the following is listed as a work stoppage type?

• A. Strikes, pickets, blue flu, rolling strikes.
• B. Demonstrations only.
• C. Email-based protests.
• D. Salary freezes.

Answer: (A)

A work stoppage type is a tactic that interrupts work as part of a labor action. The list including strikes, pickets, blue flu, and rolling strikes fits this definition because each method directly disrupts normal operations: a strike involves workers stopping work; picketing accompanies a stoppage and can hinder entry or work flow; blue flu uses sick leave to avoid working; rolling strikes stagger stoppages across times or locations to maintain pressure. Other options don’t fit as stoppage types—demonstrations can be protests without stopping work, email-based protests are communications rather than actions that halt work, and salary freezes are organizational policy, not actions by workers stopping work.
