Few work stoppages in 2007

Nearly 4 000 working days were lost due to four labour disputes in 2007. By comparison, the number of labour disputes and lost working days were 12 and 146 000 respectively in 2006.

In years with mid-term settlements, such as 2007, a revision of the agreements adopted in the main settlement takes place. The main settlement takes place every two years and implies that two-year agreements are adopted in most areas. This explains some of the major changes in the statistics from one year to another.

About the statistical basis

The statistics cover labour disputes and lock-outs that last for at least one day. The questionnaires were collected from associations of wage earners and employer associations.
