What is the difference between "strike" and "refusing to go to work"?

About 200 SMRT bus drivers refused to go to work early Monday morning and instead assembled at their dormitory in Woodlands, reportedly over a pay dispute. Click here to read the story and for more pictures.

Dot bet you that the labour minister / union leader / police / SMRT will come out and explain the subtle differences between a strike and "refusing to go to work".

If SMRT is "in negotiations" with the workers, then it is a private business matter, not a national security matter. Why are the police SOC vehicles called in?

Refuse to go work>> take MC or urgent leave
Strike >>> gather a group stand in front of company demand something.

Strait Times/CNA/SG media done it again try to spin story. Cheebye ask then go back to school.

All they need to do is to bring the "Indian Chief" down to Cantonment Rd., & "Yum Cha"...shake the "trees" & the monkeys will fall... 200 ah tiong's drivers...can these jobs be given to locals...how many Malaysian drivers also? are they counted as local as in PR ??

SINgaporeans have no balls to "refuse to work", when their pay & bonuses they get is unfair...

Our Great Statesman once said He was worried, if there is no retrenchment.

Refusing to go to work refers more to an individual's decision. Strike involves more than one staff. It is orchestrated and organised with intent to achieve an objective. Maybe the current AG can explain better.

Strike is declared when old man is prepared to use the hammer eventually to crush the workers.

Refusing to go to work is when govt dare not use any police force to shut down the strikers.

Now foreign workers dorms across the island all abuzz about the courageous 200. Will not be surprised that a few are seriously contemplating similar strikes too. I think the Panasonic incident must have inspired the PRC drivers. Will lim sia sway or TCJ take the fall if these whole thing escalate to a series of high profile strikes in coming weeks?
