Explanation:
in greva japoneza, spre deosebire de greva de avertisment, nu se intrerupe cursul activitatii

As well as taking the form of a total stoppage of work, a strike can also be conducted in a manner whereby the performance of work is only partly withheld, for instance by simply slowing down ( go-slow ) or by insisting on an exaggerated observance of work regulations and safety provisions. This latter case is referred to as a work-to-rule, and occurs mainly in the public service . It is used, in particular, as a means of side-stepping the strike ban which according to case law applies to career public servants (\"Beamte\"). As a declared form of industrial action the work-to-rule, like the go-slow, is deemed to be unlawful.

Se pare ca la noi se deosebesc doar cele trei forme: japoneza, de avertisment si generala. In en. se fac mai multe diferentieri. Referinta Cristinei e f. buna!

Uite cate forme am gasit in germana, de curiozitate:

Arbeit nach Vorschrift / Bummelstreik
* Stiller Boykott und Boykott
* Sabotage
* Spontane Arbeitsniederlegung
* Sitzstreik
* Rollende Streiks
* Demonstrationsstreik
* Betriebsbesetzung / Leistungsstreik
* Sympathie- und Solidaritätsstreik
* Verbraucherboykott und Miet- und Fahrpreisverweigerung
* Warn- und Proteststreik
* Schwerpunkt- und Vollstreik
* Massen- und Generalstreik / Sozialer Generalstreik

slowdown


Explanation:
AFl-CIO
Section 2.1. No Strike - No Lockout. It is agreed by and between the parties hereto that there will be no concerted failure to report to work, cessation or interruption of work, slowdown, strike, picketing, or lockout during the term of this Agreement, or during any period of time while negotiations are in progress between the parties hereto for the continuance or renewal of this Agreement. The Company agrees, as part of the consideration of this Agreement, that neither the National Union, the Local Union, its officers, nor agents shall be liable for damages for unauthorized stoppages, strikes, intentional slowdowns, or suspensions of work in the respective bargaining units covered by this Agreement, if:...
superdove:
Start a strike –
Notify in advance or just hold a lightning strike. Have a slowdown strike, a working-to-rule-to-the-point-of-absurdity strike, an all-call-in-sick strike or an all-call-in-and-resign strike. Refuse to do certain duties on the job. Conduct multi-industry strikes. Hartal (close shops and businesses in protest).
See reference 2, THE METHODS OF NONVIOLENT ACTION

(grčve perlée=slowdown)
Ŕ Turnu Severin, les ouvriers sont en grčve perlée
Les leaders syndicaux du chantier naval Severnav ont rencontré hier les représentants du Fonds des Propriétés d'État (FPS) pour discuter des aspects liés ŕ la privatisation de cette société. En męme temps, les ouvriers de Turnu Severin poursuivent les protestations par une grčve perlée.
sit-down strike=form of strike in which employees stop work but refuse to leave their posts.

selective strike=form of strike in which only a certain proportion of employees stop work but which may force the other employees to become idle, although (at least in principle) they are willing to work.
