Answer 1

Workers intentionally reduce productivity, can also be a strike, if too little work is done.

Answer 2

Answer: The answer is workers intentionally reduce their productivity.

Explanation:

A slow down refers to an industrial act in which employees carry out their duties but lower or reduce productivity. It is used as an alternative to a strike because it is less dangerous, less disruptive and less expensive for the union and workers. It is a way of putting pressure on management rather than embarking on strike.
