Refusal of work
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Refusal of work is a concept that has been advocated at various times by many social activist groups, mostly located on the libertarian left wing. The idea is that if enough of the working class refused to show up for work, parts of the capitalist power structure would be stalled, paving the way for social reforms that will make job quality better (or effecting an entire anarchist revolution, depending on the person asked).
Refusal of work does not consist merely of absenteeism, but can also involve sleeping or substance abuse on the job, a lack of productivity, use of work time and workplace resources for personal projects and interest, theft from one's employer, and sabotage at the workplace.
