Project description

This study aims to explore and explain the phenomenon of 'wild' or 'unorganized' strikes. Why do unorganized strikes occur more in one period compared to another? What determines their conduct and outcome? On the one hand, this study tries to describe unorganized strikes, on the other explanations are sought for the origin and evolution of unorganized strikes.
