What term is used for a form of industrial action when employees refuse to comply with new working practices?

Cooperation
Non-cooperation
Disciplinary action
Mutiny

The correct answer is: Non-cooperation

The term that accurately describes a form of industrial action where employees refuse to comply with new working practices is non-cooperation. This approach manifests when workers do not adhere to new rules or changes implemented by management, which is a tactic often used to express dissent or negotiate better terms. Non-cooperation is a strategic response that can disrupt organizational operations without the need for a full-scale strike, thereby allowing employees to voice their concerns about changes in working conditions or practices. Cooperation, on the other hand, implies a willingness to work together with management, which contrasts with the intent behind refusing compliance. Disciplinary action refers to measures taken by an employer against an employee for misconduct, which is unrelated to workers collectively resisting new practices. Mutiny is typically associated with insurrection or rebellion, often in a military context, and does not accurately reflect the nature of industrial action in a work setting.
