About the statisticsOpen and readClose
As a rule, years with mid-term settlements, such as 2015, have fewer work stoppages than years with main settlements. The main settlement takes place every other year, which means that two-year agreements are signed in most areas. The agreements in the main settlements are reviewed in the years with mid-term settlements. This explains some of the major changes in the statistics from one year to another. Hence, comparing figures should be done on a biennial basis.
The statistics is now published as Trade union members and strikes.
Additional information
The statistics cover industrial disputes, or work stoppages, of at least one day's duration. The number of disputes per year is calculated based on the number of trade union federations or confederations that have had groups of employees involved in a work stoppage.
