STRIKE

Do you know how to prepare a strike?

The workers right to strike is a constitutional right, BUT, there are some limits; striking for political reason or personal reason isn’t legal. 

Prior to a strike there have to be negations ending with no agreement. After the failed negotiations you call a meeting with the workers, they have to vote, if there isn’t majority in favour you don’t call a strike. Once you have the majority you have to contact the authorities to call the strike, and there have to be a notice period of at least 5 days. During these days a mediation will take place. If the mediation ends with an agreement the strike will be cancelled, if no agreement the strike will take place.
