Non-Industrial Inaction

I can't remember for how long people have said 'industrial action' when they mean 'strike'.

'Industrial action' conjures up in my mind's eye a picture of labourers marching on Whitehall brandishing their sledgehammers and crowbars but the current strikers are mostly office workers and teachers.

Let's call it what is is: 'non-industrial inaction' or just 'strike'
