Industrial action (UK and Ireland) or job action (US) refers collectively to any measure taken by trade unions or other organised labour meant to reduce productivity in a workplace. Quite often it is used and interpreted, mistakenly, as a euphemism for strike, but the scope is much wider. Industrial action may take place in the context of a labour dispute or may be meant to affect political or social change. Specifically industrial action may include one or more of the following:

• strike
• Go-slow
• Occupation of factories
• Work-to-rule
• General strike
• Slowdown
• Overtime ban
