Comprehensive hit when everyone refuses to work (7,6)
I believe the answer is:
general strike
'everyone refuses to work' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'comprehensive hit' is the wordplay.
'comprehensive' becomes 'general' (associated in meaning).
'hit' becomes 'strike' (synonyms).
'general'+'strike'='GENERAL STRIKE'
'when' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for general strike that I've seen before include "Everything stops for it" , "national crisis" , "National work stoppage" , "When everyone's out" , "all-out effort" .)
