Public sector is focus of industrial action
Strike activity across the EU dropped in 2014 following a crisis-related peak in 2010.

In general, strikes have been triggered by pay freezes and cuts, as well as by other unpopular effects of fiscal tightening such as lay-offs or changed working conditions.
