|description=This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the unlawfulness of political industrial action (i.e. non work-related) in the country's statutory or case law, constitution and relevant court decisions or equivalent. The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data. The variable scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems where strikes over political (i.e. non work-related) issues are permitted and "0" otherwise.
|codingrules=The CBR-LRI is a leximetric dataset on employment protection. It quantifies the strength of protection expressed in labour law and functional equivalents such as administrative regulation and collective agreements (see Adams et al. 2017). The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to the legal system do recognise a different regulation and "1" to the legal system allows strikes with political topics. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).

The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons. As Adams et al.

This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the unlawfulness of political industrial action (i.e. non work-related) in the country's statutory or case law, constitution and relevant court decisions or equivalent. The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data. The variable scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems where strikes over political (i.e. non work-related) issues are permitted and "0" otherwise.

Coding rules

The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023). The assessment of the scale level in the CBR-LRI documentation and the description of the values in the template are partially contradictory. The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons. As Adams et al. (2023) describe, the value of the variable "Political industrial action" "Equals 1 if strikes over political (i.e. non work-related) issues are permitted. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law."
