lockout

A quick definition of lockout:

A lockout is when an employer stops workers from coming to work and shuts down the business because of a disagreement with the workers. This can happen when the workers are trying to negotiate a new contract with the employer. Sometimes, workers may also refuse to work if the employer is not following the old contract while negotiating a new one. This is called a lockout too.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: A lockout is when an employer stops work and closes their business because of a disagreement with their employees. This can happen when negotiating a new employment contract or during a labor dispute.

There are two types of lockouts:

  • Defensive lockout: This is when an employer closes their business to prevent financial harm or protect a legal right.
  • Offensive lockout: This is when an employer closes their business to put pressure on their employees and gain an advantage in negotiations.

Lockouts are similar to strikes, but instead of employees refusing to work, it is the employer who stops work.

Example: A company and its employees are negotiating a new employment contract. The employees want higher wages and better benefits, but the company refuses to agree. As a result, the company decides to close its doors and stop work until an agreement is reached.

This example illustrates a lockout because the employer has stopped work due to a disagreement with their employees during contract negotiations.

Help us make LSD better!
Tell us what's important to you
i spend more time on here then anything else trying to rationalize that the waves from last year will match waves for this year (they won't) and that the stats of people with the same stats are indicative of my own (they aren't)
There aren't many people in my stat range so I pretty much know every result in my range after being on here for a few years
