Why Is My City Striking

Utility Department Strikes

Your Utility Department will go on strike if it is underfunded. Do not lower funding below 60%. To stop a strike, increase department funding to at least 90%.

Fire and Police Strikes

Your Fire and Police Departments will go on strike if they are underfunded. Do not lower funding below 70%. To stop a strike, raise department funding to at least 90%.

School and Hospital Strikes

Your schools and hospitals will go on strike if

(1) they are unpowered,

(2) they are underfunded or

(3) they are over capacity. If you see a power zot above either a school or a hospital, make sure the building gets power. If the school or hospital grade is too low, the workers there will strike. To raise the grade, either increase capacity by increasing funding or decrease the number of Sims served by reducing the busing/ambulance funding.
