Definitions

a worker who agrees to limit his output level to that level tacitly set by his fellow workers and contrary to management policy. The object is to hide the real output level of each worker to guarantee continued employment or so that work quotas are not increased, or where piecework rates are paid, to prevent the piecework rate from being lowered by management.
