Strikes can be an effective way to draw attention to issues and advocate for workers’ rights, but they are not always the best solution. While they can pressure employers to negotiate and address grievances, strikes can also lead to economic disruption and strained relationships between workers and management. Alternative solutions, such as dialogue, mediation, or negotiation, may lead to more sustainable outcomes. Ultimately, the effectiveness of a strike depends on the context and the specific issues at hand.
3 strikes
Strikes has one syllable.
The expression may have existed earlier, but by 1860, it was in use by newspapers, to report on the game of baseball. While the rules back then were somewhat different from today, a batter was called out after three strikes. The expression "three strikes, you're out" was also made popular by the hit song "Take Me Out to the Ball Game," which was written in 1908 and became very popular.
When light strikes a rough surface it reflects in essentially random directions.
