Pound is hit by industrial action (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

strike

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'pound' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'is hit' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'by' is a link.

'industrial action' is the third definition.
(workers going on strike)

(Other definitions for strike that I've seen before include "Form of industrial action" , "Everyone out" , "Hit at a trade dispute" , "Hit sharply" , "Hit or take industrial action" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
