Execute a strike same as go on a strike
According to Oxford Dictionary, one of the definitions of "execute" is put (a plan, order, or course of action) into effect.
I have made up an example using this definition.
(1) There is a possibility that postal employees will execute a strike next week.
Is it correct to use "execute a strike" to mean "go on a strike"?
Thanks.
