    Solution

    “lock out” refers to a work stoppage that is initiated by an employer as a response to a labor dispute. It involves the employer preventing employees from entering the workplace and performing their jobs. Lockouts are often used as a bargaining tactic to pressure workers to accept the employer’s terms in contract negotiations or other disputes.
