What does "blue flu" mean in the context of police work?
Correct Incorrect "Blue flu" happens when many police officers call in sick at the same time as a way to protest without officially striking. Since police strikes are usually illegal, this is a way to show disagreement over issues like pay or working conditions. The name comes from the blue color of police uniforms.
