What a difference one strike makes. The chart above shows how last November’s pensions action dramatically increased the number of working days lost to labour disputes.
A total of 1.4 million working days were lost due to industrial action in 2011, 997,000 of which were due to the 30 November strike . The figure was the highest since 1990 and represented a four-fold increase on 2010.
Expect the right to highlight such stats as evidence of why, in their view, a minimum turnout threshold should be introduced for strike ballots.
