    ghu' maybe' morghmeH ngeSmoHwI' vumwI' ghom, vumQo' 'e' buQ.

    The bakers' union threatened a strike to protest an unfair situation.

    I was actually thinking about the translation of 'strike' the other day. I'm happy with vumQo'taHghach for a workers' strike, but also:

    qama'pu' ghu' SovchoHlu'meH, SopQo'taHghach lucher qama'pu'.

    The prisoners staged a hunger strike in order to draw attention to their cause.

    1. Could also be a {tlhach} of some sort. Though an organization or group that agitates for workers' rights need not be institutionally a union per se. Might be helpful to differentiate.
