Suppose there is a strike in the month of March.

Then v=0 since the workers are not paid.

But s=0 because s is due to exploitation and workers cannot be exploited
if they are on strike.

There is no production that month so sales attributable to that month
are zero.

In others words, c + v + s = 0

Therefore, c = 0
