Purpose

To produce statistics on various aspects of industrial disputes in Australia.

Description

Information is collected on the number of industrial disputes involving stoppages of work of 10 working days or more. Ten working days is equivalent to the amount of ordinary time worked by 10 people in one day, regardless of the length of the stoppage. For example, 3,000 workers on strike for two hours would be counted as 750 working days lost (assuming they work an 8-hour day).

Reports of stoppages of work are obtained primarily from the national media scanning services, from trade journals, publications and newspapers. The statistics on industrial disputes are compiled mainly from data obtained from employers and employer associations, from trade unions and from reports of government authorities.
