Strikes are rightly acknowledged as a form of industrial conflict. Many works including OECD (2007), Hyman (1972) and McIlroy (1995) have described strikes as temporary termination of a workplace or work stoppage due to the initiatives taken by a group of workers or trade unions to impose or repel demands and direct grievances or to encourage other workers or groups of workers in their struggle of resisting demands or complaints. As pointed out by Edwards (1992), industrial conflicts seem to be inevitable in any organisation due to the prevalence of tensions between the workers and management. If they are not managed effectively, they result in an outburst which often take the form of strikes. Prior to 1980’s there were occurrence of many strikes.

One reason explaining this decline has been the change in the employment structure of the industry which has gradually moved from manufacturing to the services sector. However, according to Beardsmore (2006), over the past few decades there has been a decline in the strike rate in both the manufacturing and services
