Abstract: This article introduces to the literature of industrial conflict an examination of the relationship between legally enforceable disputes procedures and the comparatively low incidence of workshop industrial action in Sweden and Germany. The author suggests that the experience in both countries indicates that the existence of a trade union commitment to an organizational strategy which limits workplace industrial action in exchange for returns from other levels of bargaining is an important factor explaining both the effect of the social institutions and the legal norms which attempt to reinforce them.
