“Strike” is when employees get together and refuse to do something their employer wants them to do. Refusing to truck stuff into and out of New York City is something else. I may be splitting a hair here but NYT would split the same hair. This question can’t be answered as posed.
@ClubmasterTransparent I won't require that the New York Times use the word "strike" as long as it's clear that they're referring to the same phenomenon as in the article linked above
@DavidS Yes, if there is an article in the New York Times about one angry trucker ranting about this particular topic, that would be sufficient to resolve "yes"
@JonahWeissman That’s kind of the thing though. A rant isn’t a strike. A boycott isn’t a strike. A walkout isn’t a strike. It’s not just semantics. These are separate words because they describe different things. Calling every protest or worse every bold tweet a “strike” leads to sloppy thinking.
@ClubmasterTransparent Doesn't really matter what the creator calls it as long as you know what they're referring to. They've given examples and clarified that angry-trucker-rants count. Whether it matches a dictionary definition of "strike" doesn't in practice matter given that what is being referred to is clear.
