Abstract: Abstract The term ‘Industrial Relations’ refers to the relationship between three actors, namely labour (trade unions), management and government. It has been observed that the nature of the industrial relations scene in a developing economy is often a crucial factor affecting development, especially in the organised modern economic sector. ‘An economy beleaguered by industrial strife or even suffering from a poor climate of industrial relations, is not an economy that can perform at optimum’ (Gladstone 1978: 3). It is in this context that the industrial relations scene in a poor developing country like Ghana is of considerable interest. What is the nature of the contemporary industrial relations scene in Ghana? Have strikes been on the increase and what have been the underlying causes of these strikes?
