Acción industrial

La acción industrial es uno de los medios fundamentales de que disponen los trabajadores y sus organizaciones para resolver conflictos laborales y promover sus intereses económicos y sociales. Puede adoptar muchas formas, desde la retirada completa del trabajo por un período indefinido hasta formas más restringidas de acción colectiva en las que no hay cese del trabajo. El derecho de huelga está explícitamente reconocido en las constituciones y/o leyes de muchos países. A escala de la UE, el derecho de huelga está consagrado en el artículo 28 de la Carta de los Derechos Fundamentales de la Unión Europea. El derecho a la acción colectiva de los interlocutores sociales también está incluido en el pilar europeo de derechos sociales.  Eurofound está estudiando actualmente la viabilidad de un monitor de acción industrial.

Labour disputes across Europe in 2023: Ongoing struggle for higher wages as cost of living rises
Victoria Cojocariu,
Mária Sedláková
The year 2023 was marked by several significant labour disputes across Europe, even in countries with a traditionally ‘quiet’ industrial relations landscape. The main reason for industrial unrest was wages not keeping pace with the increasing cost of living. The most affected sectors were transport, education, health and social care, and manufacturing. Not all these disputes have been solved, with conflicts continuing in a number of countries. This article looks at significant labour disputes and industrial action across the EU27 and Norway in 2023 as mapped by the Network of Eurofound Correspondents.

Working life in the COVID-19 pandemic 2021

This publication consists of individual country reports on working life during 2021 for 28 countries – the 27 EU Member States and Norway. The country reports summarise evidence on the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on working life based on national research and survey results during 2021. They outline the policy responses of governments and social partners in their efforts to cushion the socioeconomic effects and include a focus on policy areas related to adapting to the pandemic and the return to work. This includes in particular a focus on new health and safety arrangements at work, new work arrangements, policies to address labour shortages and wages and wage setting. The reports also explore the impact of the pandemic on social dialogue, collective bargaining and industrial action.

Please note that there is no consolidated report on working life in the EU in 2021.

Collective labour disputes in the EU

In recent years, apart from some intermittent spikes, there has been a general decrease in industrial action across the EU Member States. During the COVID-19 pandemic, this trend has continued, with the most significant labour disputes not surprisingly occurring in the human health and social services sector, the education sector and the transport and logistics sector. This report analyses the data collected in 2018–2019 by Eurofound during the piloting of its Industrial Action Monitor (IAM) database. Using cluster analysis, the research classified industrial action in Europe into five categories: national disputes of interest and rights, sometimes involving different forms of employment; extended disputes about collective pay agreements; localised disputes about employment problems, working time and restructuring, with short work stoppages; localised disputes about workers’ rights and grievances over company policies; and disputes concerning public policies.

In terms of specific issues, problems over pay accounted for over 40% of disputes, employment problems accounted for 20%, other aspects of working conditions accounted for 16% and protests accounted for 13%. Noting the lack of complete data on industrial action in Europe, the analysis points to the need for a systematic collection of empirical evidence in the future to provide a sound basis for comparative analysis.

Relative calm on the industrial action front in 2020

Despite the economic turmoil that led to large-scale restructuring in many EU Member States and changes in working conditions for many occupational groups, 2020 seems to have been a quiet year in terms of industrial action. At the time of writing this article, national statistics for 2020 are available in only a few countries; however, several correspondents have reported a clear decline in industrial action. The most significant labour disputes related to COVID-19 occurred in the human health and social services sector, the education sector, and the transportation and logistics sector.
