offensive lockout

Read a random definition: legal act

A quick definition of offensive lockout:

An offensive lockout is when the boss of a company stops workers from working to put pressure on them during a disagreement. This is not allowed by law because it is unfair to the workers. It is like a game where the boss is cheating to win. Sometimes workers might also refuse to work if the boss is not being fair during negotiations for a new work agreement. This is also not allowed, but it is called something different.

A more thorough explanation:

An offensive lockout is a tactic used by management during a labor dispute to gain an advantage over a union. It involves the employer withholding work and closing the business to put economic pressure on workers. This is done to force the union to agree to the employer's terms.

Before 1965, there was a legal distinction between offensive and defensive lockouts. A defensive lockout was called to prevent imminent and irreparable financial harm to the company or to protect a legal right. However, the U.S. Supreme Court abolished this distinction in favor of a balancing test.

For example, if a union is negotiating a new contract with an employer, and the employer decides to lockout the workers to force them to accept their terms, this would be considered an offensive lockout.

It is important to note that offensive lockouts are illegal and can lead to legal action against the employer.
