Strikes breakers

A classic phrase!

"Strikes breakers" is a common idiomatic expression that means "strikes (workers) break (the) rules" or "strikes (workers) disobey (the) rules". In other words, when workers go on strike, they are breaking the rules or disobeying the rules of the workplace or the law.

This phrase is often used to describe a situation where workers are protesting or demonstrating against their employer or the government, and in doing so, they are violating the rules or laws that govern their behavior.

For example:

• "The union went on strike, breaking the rules and causing chaos in the city."
• "The workers' strike broke the rules and disrupted the entire production process."

It's worth noting that the phrase "strikes breakers" can also be used more broadly to describe any situation where someone or something is breaking the rules or disobeying authority.
