@TechyDad @inquiline We actually know the answer to this. During Japan's post-war reconstruction, their labor movement was in a pickle. They couldn't be seen as impeding the reconstruction, so they invented the reverse strike. They ran the factory as usual and barred management from entry. They found that the longer these strikes lasted, the more desperate management became to settle because there was no noticeable drop in productivity. I don't remember much more about it, but if I see the video again, I'll post it.
