strike would be when someone stops work to get better pay, or shorter hours or to even force an employer to agree to meet some other demand

It is a way of leveling the playing field. Employers have all of the power and can institute unfair practices that hurt workers. A strike gives some of the power back to the workers.

A strike is a collective action taken by workers to protest against workplace issues such as unfair wages, poor working conditions, or lack of benefits. It is a way for workers to put pressure on employers to negotiate and improve working conditions.

People strike because they believe they are not being treated fairly. Many teachers strike for example because they are not getting paid enough or their working conditions are not good.
