|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 protection of the right to industrial action (i.e. strike, go-slow or work-to-rule) in the country's constitution 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 scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems expressly granting a right to industrial action by the constitution and "0" otherwise. Values in between describe, for example:

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).

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 protection of the right to industrial action (i.e. strike, go-slow or work-to-rule) in the country's constitution 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 scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems expressly granting a right to industrial action by the constitution and "0" otherwise. Values in between describe, for example:

  • 0.67 = if strikes are described as a matter of public policy or public interest
  • 0.33 = if strikes are otherwise mentioned in the constitution

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 "Right to industrial action" "Equals 1 if a right to industrial action is expressly granted by the constitution. Equals 0.67 if strikes are described as a matter of public policy or public interest. Equals 0.33 if strikes are otherwise mentioned in the constitution. Equals zero otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law."
