Go slow
Form of industrial action in which workers keep working, but at the minimum pace as demanded by their contract of employment
Work to rule
Form of industrial action in which employees refuse to do any work outside the precise terms of the employment contract. Overtime will not be worked all non-contractual cooperation will be withdrawn
Overtime bans
Industrial action in which workers refuse to work more than the contracted number of hours each week. During busy times of the year, this could lead to much lost output for the employer
Strike action
The most extreme form of industrial action in which employees totally withdraw their labor for period of time. This may lead to production stopping completely. Strike action can lead to the business shutting down during the industrial action
Public relations
Using the media to try to gain public support for the employer's position in the dispute
Threats of redundancies
These threats would put pressure on unions to agree to a settlement of the dispute, but they might inflame opinions on the employees' side and could be looked upon as "bullying" and lead to poor publicity for the employer
Changes of contract
If employees are taking advantage of their employment contracts to work to rule/ban overtime, then new contracts could, when the old ones are due for renewal, be issued that insist on higher work rates or overtime working
Closure of the business or the factory/office
Closure of the business or the factory/office where the industrial dispute takes place would lead to redundancy for all the workers and no output and profit for the business owners
Lock-outs
Short-term closure of the business/factory to prevent employees from working and being paid
