A strike usually takes place in response to <a href="/wiki/Employee_grievances" class="mw-redirect" title="Employee grievances">employee grievances</a>. Strikes became common during the <a href="/wiki/Industrial_Revolution" title="Industrial Revolution">Industrial Revolution</a>, when <a href="/wiki/Labour_economics" title="Labour economics">mass labor</a> became important in factories and mines. As striking became a more common practice, governments were often pushed to act (either by private business or by union workers). When government intervention occurred, it was rarely neutral or amicable. Early strikes were often deemed unlawful conspiracies or anti-competitive cartel action and many were subject to massive legal repression by state police, federal military power, and federal courts.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Many Western nations legalized striking under

In the U.S., idleness due to strikes never exceeded one half of one percent of total working days in any year during the period 1948-2005; the average loss was 0.1% per year. Similarly, in Canada over the period 1980-2005, the annual number of work days lost due to strikes never exceeded one day per worker; on average over this period lost worktime due to strikes was about one-third of a day per worker. Although the data are not readily available for a broad sample of developed countries, the pattern described above seems quite general: days lost due to strikes amount to only a fraction of a day per

For local strikes, <i>precettazione</i> can also be applied by a decision of the <a href="/wiki/Prefect" title="Prefect">prefect</a>. The employees refusing to work after the <i>precettazione</i> takes effect may be subject of a sanction or even a penal action (for a maximum of 4 years of prison) if the illegal strike causes the suspension of an essential service. </p><p><i>Precettazione</i> has been rarely applied, usually after several days of strikes affecting transport or fuel services or extraordinary events.

The no-strike clause typically requires that members of the union not conduct any strike action for the duration of the contract; such actions are called <i>sympathy</i> or <i>secondary strikes</i>. Members who honor the picket line in spite of the contract frequently face discipline, for their action may be viewed as a violation of provisions of the contract. </p><p>Therefore, any union conducting a strike action typically seeks to include a provision of amnesty for all who honored the picket line in the agreement that settles the strike. No-strike clauses may also prevent unionized workers from engaging in solidarity actions for other workers even when no picket line is crossed. For example, striking workers in manufacturing or mining produce a product which must be transported. In a situation where the factory or mine owners have replaced the strikers, unionized transport workers may feel inclined to refuse to haul any product that is produced by strikebreakers, yet their own contract obligates them to do so. </p><p>Historically the practice of union strikebreaking has been a contentious issue in the union movement, and a point of contention between adherents of different union philosophies. For example, supporters of <a href="/wiki/Industrial_unions" class="mw-redirect" title="Industrial unions">industrial unions</a>, which have sought to organize entire workplaces without regard to individual skills, have criticized <a href="/wiki/Craft_unions" class="mw-redirect" title="Craft unions">craft unions</a> for organizing workplaces into separate unions according to skill, a circumstance that makes union strikebreaking more common. Union strikebreaking is not unique to craft unions. </p> </section><div class="mw-heading mw-heading2 section-heading" onclick="mfTempOpenSection(7)"><span class="indicator mf-icon mf-icon-expand mf-icon--small"></span><h2 id="Anti-strike_action">Anti-strike action</h2><span class="mw-editsection"> <a role="button" href="/w/index.php?title=Strike_action&amp;action=edit&amp;section=20" title="Edit section: Anti-strike action" class="cdx-button cdx-button--size-large cdx-button--fake-button cdx-button--fake-button--enabled cdx-button--icon-only cdx-button--weight-quiet "> <span class="minerva-icon minerva-icon--edit"></span> <span>edit</span> </a> </span> </div><section class="mf-section-7 collapsible-block" id="mf-section-7"> <p>Most strikes called by unions are somewhat predictable; they typically occur after the contract has expired.

Salaried employees may be called upon to take the place of strikers, which may entail advance training. If the company has multiple locations, personnel may be redeployed to meet the needs of reduced staff. Companies may also take out strike insurance, to help offset the losses which a strike would cause. </p><p>When established unions commence strike action, some companies may decline entirely to negotiate with the union, and respond to the strike by hiring replacement workers. For strikers, this may be concerning for multiple reasons. For example, they may fear that the strike will be lost. The length of time that the strike may last could cause many workers to cease striking, which would likely cause it to fail. They may also be concerned that they will lose their jobs entirely. Companies that hire strikebreakers typically use these concerns to attempt to convince union members to abandon the strike and cross the union's <a href="/wiki/Picketing_(protest)" class="mw-redirect" title="Picketing (protest)">picket line</a>. </p><p>Unions faced with a strikebreaking situation may try to inhibit the use of strikebreakers by a variety of methods – establishing picket lines where strikebreakers enter the workplace; discouraging strike breakers from taking, or from keeping, strikebreaking jobs; raising the cost of hiring strikebreakers for the company; or employing public relations tactics. Companies may respond by increasing security forces and seeking court injunctions. </p><p>Examining conditions in the late 1990s, John Logan, professor and director of Labor and Employment Studies at <a href="/wiki/San_Francisco_State_University" title="San Francisco State University">San Francisco State University</a>, observed that union busting agencies helped to "transform economic strikes into a virtually suicidal tactic for US unions".
