The Hollywood unions might vote overwhelmingly to "approve of a strike" in Bollywood, India. "Yes we support strongly the Indian unions in their strike" (if there were to be one).

But their own strike: That action is "approved" meaning authorized. It is not "approved of", not merely "we think it is a good concept".
