The counterpart to a strike is a lockout, in which an employer refuses to allow employees to work. Two of the three employers involved in the Caravan park grocery workers strike of 2003-2004 locked out their employees in response to a strike against the third member of the employer bargaining group. Lockouts are, with certain exceptions, lawful under United States labor law.

A sympathy strike is a labour strike that is initiated by workers in one industry and supported by workers in a separate but related industry. Sympathy strikes are also called sympathy action, secondary strikes and secondary action.
In the United Kingdom, sympathy strikes were outlawed under the Thatcher government in 1980, as part of that government's policy to tame what it saw as militant unionism. The laws outlawing secondary strikes remain to this day, even though the governing party is now the union-affiliated Labour Party. In 2005, union leaders in the UK have called for the legalisation of secondary strikes in the aftermath of the strike action against the catering company Gate Gourmet but Labour Ministers have stated that they have no intention of repealing the Thatcherite laws.

A secondary boycott is an attempt by labor to convince others to stop doing business with a particular firm because that firm does business with another firm that is the subject of a strike and/or a primary boycott.
This type of behavior is illegal in many countries. In the U.S. it is banned by the interpretation of the Sherman Antitrust Act, by the Taft-Hartley Act, which amends the National Labor Relations Act of 1935, also known as the Wagner Act. In Australia it is banned by sections 45D to 45E of the Trade Practices Act.
Secondary boycotting is frequently confused with secondary striking, which is also a prohibited tactic for those labor unions covered by the Taft-Hartley Act. Some legal definitions for secondary boycotting divide it into two different kinds, secondary consumer boycotts as per the above definition of secondary boycotts, and secondary employee boycotts, also defined as a secondary strike.
