Few stoppages
In 2009 there were two stoppages and 180 working days lost. This was a year with mid-term settlements where a revision of the agreements during the main settlement in 2008 took place. During the previous mid-term settlement in 2007, there were four labour disputes and 4 000 working days lost
The main settlement takes place every other year and means that two-year agreements are signed in most areas. This explains some of the major changes in the statistics from one year to another.
In years with main settlements, such as 2008, there were 10 labour disputes and 62 500 working days lost.
About the statistical basisThe statistics cover both labour disputes and lock-out, of at least one day's duration. The questionnaires were collected from associations of wage earners and employer associations. |
Tables:

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.
