For a local and recent case, I can confirm dock workers in my city have been working a go-slow on ships bound for the Zionist regime. I've also heard reports of local union construction workers locking scabs in a shed last week.

Love to hear it.
It's good to know a range of techniques, especially low risk ones which are easier to get others to do, like go-slow, work-to-rule (malicious compliance) and feigned incompetence.

>OSS (precursor of the CIA) instructions for sabotage just describe a normal capitalist workplace

Seconding. Low-risk activities are great to know because they can be used in a mass movement filled with people who are (understandably) timid and scared. And once there are enough people on board, then there's the safety in numbers that are needed to build confidence for more extreme actions.

Perhaps more self-sabotage than worker sabotage, but I remember in the US post-pandemic strike wave, John Deere hired scabs and one crashed a tractor before the strike even began.

Speaking of scabs and low-risk tactics, Kellogg's also hired scabs that year and the /r/antiwork community raided them with fake job applications. It's a nice example of external sabotage, where sometimes even international comrades can help in their spare time.

Are there any confirmed cases where a saboteurs applied as fake scabs? If there isn't a name for it, 'scabotage' works well.

From Wikipedia, on Ecotage
>Certain groups turn to the destruction of property to stop environmental destruction or to make visible arguments against forms of modern technology they consider detrimental to the environment. The U.S. FBI and other law enforcement agencies use the term eco-terrorist when applied to damage of property. Proponents argue that since property cannot feel terror, damage to property is more accurately described as sabotage. Opponents, by contrast, point out that property owners and operators can indeed feel terror.
You know, comrades, I'm not sure the bourgeoisie understand the meaning of terror. Maybe they need to be educated.

The construction union in my area constantly strikes over safety issues. People die on sites every day. Obviously the owner class and their pawns will cut every corner they can until the workers stand up together, because obviously legislation isn't enough.
We protect us. Others can't, even if they want to.

>my factory got rekt, this is just like a bunch of people getting blown up by a bomb!
Not even the most ridiculous expansion of "terrorism." Look up "economic terrorism." Stealing (theoretical) profits by disrupting production or supply chains is terrorism lol. Found out about this when looking up info on Ad Nauseam (ad blocker), which got banned from chrome because feeding ad companies junk data is considered "economic terrorism."

A lot of construction companies are basically scammers intentionally doing shitty work because by the time the building falls apart the owner of the company will have retired and the company won't exist. Of course they're not going to be against following protocol. Anything that slows down a job delays their retirement and increases the chances that they get sued.

>The term economic terrorism is strictly defined to indicate an attempt at economic destabilization by a group
Are governments trying to use loaded language to demonize others, or are they really this illiterate and think terrorism is any unlawful attempt to cause change?

There's only so far they can push that line of rhetoric.
