Hit for refusal to work (6)
I believe the answer is:
strike
I believe this is a double definition.
'hit' is the first definition.
(I know that hit can be written as strike)
'refusal to work' is the second definition.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for strike that I've seen before include "Do this while the iron is hot" , "Walk out" , "An industrial dispute, pickets out" , "Hit forcibly" , "Hit - miss (in baseball)" .)
