|description=This CBR-LRI indicator measures whethers the legal system provides dismissal protection for striking workers or not.

|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 prohibition of dismissal for striking workers 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 scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems prohibiting employers to fire striking workers or to hire replacement labour to maintain the plant in operation during a non-violent and non-political strike and "0" if they are not so prohibited.
|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 allows employer to dismiss striking workers and "1" to the legal system does not allow dismissions for taking part in industrial action. For country-specific information see Adams, Bishop and Deakin (2016).

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 "Replacement of striking workers" "Equals 1 if the law prohibits employers to fire striking workers or to hire replacement labour to maintain the plant in operation during a non-violent and non-political strike. Equals 0 if they are not so prohibited. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law."

Related indicators

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 prohibition of dismissal for striking workers 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 scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "1" corresponds to legal systems prohibiting employers to fire striking workers or to hire replacement labour to maintain the plant in operation during a non-violent and non-political strike and "0" if they are not so prohibited.

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 "Replacement of striking workers" "Equals 1 if the law prohibits employers to fire striking workers or to hire replacement labour to maintain the plant in operation during a non-violent and non-political strike. Equals 0 if they are not so prohibited. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law."
