Not on strike? That's unusual! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

offbeat

'unusual' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'not on strike?' is the wordplay.
'not on' becomes 'off' ('off' is the opposite to 'on').
'strike?' becomes 'beat' (I've seen this before).
'off'+'beat'='OFFBEAT'

'that's' is the link.

(Other definitions for offbeat that I've seen before include "Weird - irregular" , "Unusual, not ordinary - or rhythmic" , "rather unorthodox" , "Way-out" , "Wacky, eccentric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
