LABOR DISPUTES AND STRIKES

Abstract

This article analyzes labor disputes and strikes from sociolegal and economic perspectives. The introduction highlights the importance of labor relations in the development of society, the factors leading to disputes, and the historical as well as contemporary role of strikes. The research methods include the analysis of legal and regulatory documents, comparison of statistical data, and review of scholarly literature. The findings indicate that the main causes of strikes are insufficient wages, unsatisfactory working conditions, and weak social protection mechanisms. In the discussion section, these results are compared with international practices, emphasizing both their positive and negative aspects. In particular, while strikes serve as a means of protecting workers’ rights, they can also negatively affect economic stability. The study concludes that mediation and the development of social dialogue are essential factors in resolving labor disputes.
