Most strikes are undertaken by [[trade union|labor unions]] during [[collective bargaining]] as a last resort. The object of collective bargaining is for the employer and the union to come to an agreement over wages, benefits, and working conditions. A [[collective bargaining agreement]] may include a clause (a contractual "no-strike clause") which prohibits the union from striking during the term of the agreement.<ref name=FeldackerHayes>{{cite web|publisher=Labor Guide to Labor Law|author=Bruce S. Feldacker & Michael J. Hayes
Generally, strikes are rare: according to the [[News Media Guild]], 98% of union contracts in the United States are settled each of the 67 years without a strike.{{Citation needed|date=June 2008}} Occasionally, workers decide to strike without the sanction of a labor union, either because the union refuses to endorse such a tactic, or because the workers concerned are non-unionized. Such strikes are often described as ''unofficial''. Strikes without formal union authorization are also known as [[Wildcat strike action|wildcat strikes]].
