A 'Slowdown' is where workers follow everything by the book (whether a provision in the collective agreement or a workplace policy) in order to slow down the pace of work. This tactic (also known as work-to-rule) is often used by workers to protest poor working conditions or concessions. #UnionLingo #CUPE2191
