As I understand it - a true strike versus a greve perlee which is a partial strike or slowdown.

Grève perlée
Ralentissement du travail, sans grève proprement dite, par lequel les salarié-e-s diminuent délibérémment la production dans le but d'obtenir des concessions de l'employeur. La grève du zèle constitue une variation de cette grève perlée, c'est à dire un ralentissement systématique pendant lequel les employés ne font que suivre minutieusement toutes les consignes qui s'appliquent à leur travail, sans dire un mot.

| all-out strike
Explanation:
As opposed to 'grève perlée' which I think would be called 'work-to-rule' or possibly a 'work slow-down'.

Oh sorry, Michelle had already covered 'grève perlée'... and anyway I suppose you were not asking about that.
Lots of Ghits for all-out strike, but of course Writeaway is absolutely right!
