Strikes and Industrial Conflict in Britain's Docks: Balloons or Icebergs?

David Sapsford and Peter Turnbull

Oxford Bulletin of Economics and Statistics, 1994, vol. 56, issue 3, 249-65

Abstract: This paper presents a simple model of industrial conflict that differs from previous economic models in that it recognizes the distinction between strikes and other forms of industrial conflict. The model is estimated against data relating to Britain's dock industry. The results provide evidence to suggest that strikes and absenteeism, as a form of unorganized conflict, have acted as substitutes for one another. Copyright 1994 by Blackwell Publishing Ltd
