It depends on the context. Yes, one of the meanings is "a strike". It can also mean "unemployment" and "cobrar el paro" means "receive unemployement payments" or "be on the dole." If you're talking about a person's heart "un paro" is "cardiac arrest". And "hacer un paro" is slang in Mexico for "do a favor," but Mexicans also use the word "paro" to mean "strike" (and the other meanings as far as I know) as well. If it is difficult to tell from context the following synonyms may come in handy to avoid confusion: Paro = huelga (strike) Paro = desempleo (unemployment) Paro = favor (favor) Paro cardiaco = cardiac arrest
