Inflammatory action by workers? (6)
I believe the answer is:
strike
'inflammatory action' is the definition.
'strike' can be an answer for 'action' (strike is a kind of action). I am not sure about the 'inflammatory' bit.
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for strike that I've seen before include "Hit - down tools" , "Walk-out" , "Hit the labour withdrawal" , "Downing of tools" , "Do this while the iron is hot" .)
