D.mercantiliat policies favored negative trade balances
Answer:
Most strikes are undertaken by labor unions during collective bargaining. The object of collective bargaining is to obtain a contract (an agreement between the union and the company) which may include a no-strike clause or penalizes the union and/or the workers if they walk out while the contract is in force.
A consumer is someone who purchased goods or services. So if people stop buying that certain good or service. Then the economy can go down because there won't be as much money coming in as there was. And then if people buy more of a certain good or service then the economy will go up because they'll be receiving more money.
