Analysis and Conclusion:
Refusal to work overtime can be classified as an illegal strike if it involves a concerted refusal to perform duties in violation of legal or contractual obligations. The legality hinges on the nature of the refusal, whether it is a part of a collective action, and compliance with statutory procedures. While peaceful protests like hunger strikes or individual refusals may not always be deemed illegal, organized work stoppages or work-to-rule actions without proper authorization are generally considered illegal strikes, subjecting employees to disciplinary action and wage deductions. Courts emphasize adherence to legal procedures and the context of the work stoppage when determining legality.
