You mean everyone quit together? That's called a strike.

A strike involves work stoppage, it's a very different tactic than mass resignation.

In 1999, Major League Umpires Association (MLUA) were not able to legally go strike so they opted to use mass resignation as their negotiation strategy. It backfired, cost 22 umpires their careers and led to decertification of the union.

I'm sticking with strike. "mass resignation and everyone loses their jobs" just doesn't have the same ring.
