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.
