ca'canny

Of workers, to intentionally work slowly and produce less. Primarily heard in Scotland. Can we force management's hand in the contract negotiations by collectively ca'cannying? I know that lot ca'cannies in the office, so why would I give any of them a raise? I bet your staff's ca'cannying if their productivity has fallen that much.
