Abstract: This paper presents a sectorial analysis of strike activity in Israel. Israel provides an interesting case for strike analysis because it comprises three distinct sectors with varying degrees of politicization in industrial relations. By comparing strike activity among the public, private and Histadrut (General Federation of Labour in Israel) sectors two questions are investigated: (a) how are strike patterns affected by aggregate economic and political measures; and (b) what is the relative importance of economic and political factors for strike activity in each sector? The results indicate that economic determinants are more important than political determinants in the private sector, but that political determinants are equally important in the Histadrut and public sector.
