In 1980, a number of labour strikes, labour disputes, and other industrial actions occurred.

Background

[edit]

A labor strike is a work stoppage caused by the mass refusal of employees to work. It is usually a response to employee grievances, such as low pay or poor working conditions. Strikes can also occur to demonstrate solidarity with workers in other workplaces or pressure governments to change policies.
