Basically a verb.
N ~ (动) 故意消极对待工作,拖延时间,降低效率
NC ~ to go slow; to slow down; to dawdle over work; to loiter along

"slow working" seems like a lazy, direct translation of 怠工.

"lazy strike" is a term I am unfamiliar with, and the top google hit for it is a dict.cn entry.
"lazy strike" is also in N's CCED.

Also "to sabotage"? ~ see N, J
That may be a mistranslation in J, or "going slow" as a specific type of sabotage?

One of the J "sabotage" examples is ~
Comrade Mao Zedong said: "To carry out a directive of a higher organ blindly, and seemingly without any disagreement, is not really to carry it out but is the most artful way of opposing or sabotaging it."
毛泽东同志说:“盲目地表面上完全无异议地执行上级的指示,这不是真正在执行上级的指示,这是反对上级指示或者对上级指示怠工的最妙方法。”
