La grève: rôles des acteurs sociaux et étatiques

Abstract: The strike, mode of pressure and expression of workers in conflict, undergoes on a historical development from prohibition to an institutionalization based on mistrust. As a phenomenon infra and beyond the law, it challenges the social partners and the public authority inside the State. In Belgium, facing an increasing recourse to tribunals in matters of collective labor disputes, these various actors were brought to take position. The social partners have concluded a gentleman?s agreement. This one does not close the debate relating to the need or not for changing the law about the right of strike. A framework exists. It is given mainly by the European social Charter. The definition of the strike, its finalities and its actors includes traps and dangers. Any approach of this matter is used for taking into account the fact that the strike constitutes a indisputable component of the social and economic democracy.
