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 unofficial industrial action (such as unofficial or ‘wildcat’ strikes) 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 if strikes are not unlawful merely by reason of being unofficial or ‘wildcat’ strikes 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 "Unofficial industrial action" "Equals 1 if strikes are not unlawful merely by reason of being unofficial or ‘wildcat’ strikes. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law."
