So… they can stop producing chips?
If materials can oxidize or otherwise expire, they'd have to use up those materials, which means that whole part of the line keeps running.
And then oops, guys, we couldn't get this delivery canceled in time. The parts are gonna go bad if we don't use them, so... Strike week after next?
Oops your 2.5B Won lithography machine somehow dismantled itself.
Wild how that happens, eh? Total shame that all the workers were too distracted thinking about how they should be striking to notice how it happened, too.
Yeah, I'll use them to prop up this table... Oh some of them can be used to make shadow puppets... Maybe some can be used to ensure proper efficiency of the garbage trucks...
It sounds like time for some malicious compliance. Go back to work, but spill stuff and "accidentally" cause damage to the machines. Make this option even worse for them then just letting them strike.
Too soon, this should happen after they win what they want.
