The phrase of the day is wildcat strike:
An employee work stoppage that is not authorized by the Labor Union to which the employees belong. (legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com)
"On a later night, however, they return to lob Molotov cocktails, and a security guard is hurt; to avoid trouble, the friends take off for the summer break, hitching a ride to Italy with a revolutionary film collective in (of course) a VW van. The sun glares, the strikes are wildcat, and the masses await enlightenment through cinema. Bliss is it in that dawn to be alive."
- Anthony Lane, "Battle weary: 'Iron Man 3' and 'Something in the Air'", 6 May 2013 The New Yorker
