0 an occasion when employees work more slowly and with less effort than usual in order to try to persuade an employer to agree to higher pay or better working conditions
1 a situation when employees work more slowly and less effectively to show management that they are not satisfied with pay, working conditions, etc.:
It hardly needs to be added that this is cast-iron evidence of the suppressed demand that was damped down during the go-slow period.
What the general public want to know is whether the go-slow is going to start at midnight to-night.
For example, a go-slow would be in breach of a contract of employment and would be industrial action.
I need hardly underline that the go-slow has already cost this nation, probably, hundreds of thousands of pounds.
This is not a go-slow or a work-to-rule.
Although there are unresolved issues, there is no official dispute and no official support for a go-slow.
If there is an unofficial strike, or if there is a go-slow activity (if that is not a paradox), it causes publicity.
I refer to the recent power workers' go-slow.
