- 1鎖廠、資方停工（雇主不讓勞工進場，直到接受條件；和勞工罷工方向相反）
A lockout is when employers shut workers out of the workplace — often a factory — and will not let them come back in until they accept the company’s terms. The doors are, in a real or a legal sense, locked against the staff. This is the company’s move, not the workers’ move. A strike is the other way round: the workers refuse to work. News about sport uses the same word when team owners stop a season over money or contracts. Though actually, many students meet lockout first in another life: being locked out of an email or a game account. That is a later, looser use. The older, core meaning in a ’s dictionary is the labour fight.
