leave-taking tactics; coordinated paid leave as industrial action
Refers to a labor tactic where many employees take paid leave simultaneously, effectively creating a strike-like effect without formally striking. Used in contexts of labor disputes and union strategies.
The union used leave-taking tactics to put pressure on management.
Leave-taking tactics involve taking paid leave all at once as an alternative to a strike.
Compound of 休暇 (kyūka, 'holiday, leave') and 戦術 (senjutsu, 'tactics'). The term likely emerged in modern labor movement contexts.
