Preface
This bulletin, an annual feature of the Bureau of La
bor Statistics since 1941, provides a detailed statistical
presentation of work stoppages in 1979.
Preliminary estimates of the level of strike (or lock
out) activity for the United States as a whole are issued
about 30 days after the end of the month of reference
and are available on request. Preliminary estimates for
the entire year are available at year end; selected final
tabulations are issued in the fall of the following year.
The methods used to prepare work stoppage statistics
are described in the appendix.
The Bureau wishes to acknowledge the cooperation
iii
of employers and employer associations, labor unions,
the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and
various State agencies. Data collection was completed
by June 1980. Coding, editing, and computer processing
were completed by October 1980.
The bulletin was prepared by Jane S. Gelman in the
Division of Industrial Relations, Office of Wages and
Industrial Relations.

usual; three-fourths of the disputes lasting 90 days or
more involved fewer than 250 workers each (table 3).
As in previous years, most disputes lasting more than
2 weeks occurred in manufacturing industries, while
the majority of shorter strikes occurred in nonmanu
facturing (table 25). Strikes settled in 1 day were con
centrated in mining and government and most often
occurred while an agreement was in effect (tables 25
and 27). Following a historical pattern, 1-day strikes
arose primarily over noneconomic issues,2plant admin
istration in particular (table 26). Three-fourths of the
strikes lasting longer than 1 day were over economic
issues. The greatest number of workers were involved
in strikes over general wage changes lasting 7 to 14
days, and the greatest number of days of idleness were
accumulated in strikes over this issue lasting 90 days or
more.
Summary
Reflecting the heavier round of collective bargaining
in 1979 compared to 1978 and continuing inflationary
pressures, the number of strikes beginning in the year
increased by 14 percent and the number of workers in
volved in strikes by 6 percent. Major contracts that ex
pired or reopened in 1979 covered 3.7 million workers,
nearly double the 2 million workers covered in 1978,
but below the levels covered in past heavy bargaining
years.1Accordingly, the number of work stoppages and
workers involved in strikes, although higher than in
1978, did not reach the levels of many previous years
(table 1). At the same time, the proportion of all em
ployed workers who were on strike was the lowest
since 1963.
Idleness in 1979 was 2 million days less than in 1978;
however, idleness per worker involved, at 20 days, was
the highest since 1970, except for 1978 when it was al
most 23 days. The high level of days idle per worker
is due in part to several major strikes (10,000 workers
or more) in the agricultural implement, electrical ma
chinery, and airline industries.
Size
Following the usual pattern, about one-half the strikes
involved fewer than 100 workers, while three-fifths of
the workers involved in strikes and resulting idleness
occurred in stoppages of at least 1,000 workers (table
6).
Eleven major work stoppages (those involving 10,000
or more workers) began in 1979, as in 1978, but they
involved fewer workers and resulted in substantially
less total idleness than in 1978 (table 4). (The 1977-78
coal strike alone was responsible for more idleness in
1978 than occurred in all 11 stoppages in 1979.) Five
of the major stoppages beginning in 1979, compared to
only 1 in 1978, accounted for over 1 million days of
idleness each. Two major stoppages were settled in 1
day; four lasted more than 6 weeks (table 5).
Except for the nationwide trucking strike, no major
stoppage in 1979 involved more than 50,000 workers.
However, three in the farm machinery industry in
volved a total of more than 100,000 workers.
The year-to-year fluctuation in both the number and
intensity of major stoppages depends to a great extent
on the bargaining calendar, since most of these disputes
occur during the renegotiation of agreements (text ta
ble 2 and table 8).
Duration
Stoppages in 1979 lasted an average of 32.1 days, 1
day less than in 1978, the record year. Median duration
of strikes was also higher than in any year except 1978.
In both years, an exceptionally large proportion of
strikes lasted at least 15 days (52 to 53 percent) and
fewer than usual were settled in 1 day (9 to 10 percent)
(text table 1).

Contract status
Generally, the majority of stoppages occur while an
agreement is being renegotiated. In 1979, 65 percent of
the total were in this category (table 10). Strikes that
took plaree during the term of an agreement accounted
for 16 percent of the total. These included 405 midcon
tract stoppages in the coal industry, the only industry
to experience a significant proportion of such strikes
(table 9). Most midcontract strikes were due to dis
agreements over plant administration (59 percent), an
issue prevalent in mining (tables 10 and 2).
The proportion of disputes occurring during negoti
ation of a first agreement or a union’s attempt to gain
recognition declined slightly, to 9 percent of the total.
However, idleness was unusually high for transporta
tion equipment in this category, 141,000 days. This oc
curred because of an 8,000-worker strike at the New
port News (Va.) Shipbuilding and Dry dock Company
which resulted in recognition of the United Steelwork
ers of America as the bargaining agent.
Strikes at establishments having no agreement in
creased for the fourth year in a row to the highest num
ber on record. The number of workers involved was
also one of the highest, although it was below the 1978
figure.

NOTE: Major work stoppages are those involving 10,000 workers or
more.
Monthly pattern
The largest number of strikes began in the months of
April, May, and June, when the largest number of col
lective bargaining agreements expired (table 2).3 May
ranked first, as usual, with the greatest number of strikes,
but April had the most workers and days idle, because
of the trucking strike. As a result of this strike, the April
idleness rate rose to 0.26 percent (2.6 days idle per thou
sand days worked) compared to 0.10 percent in April
1978. However, more strikes were in effect in June 1979
than in any other month.
In keeping with seasonal patterns, the first 2 months
and the last 2 months of the year had fewer strikes,
workers involved, and generally fewer days of idleness
than other months.
Union affiliation
About three-fifths of all strikes during 1979, account
ing for one-half of all workers involved in strikes, were
called by unions affiliated with the AFL-CIO. This rep
resents a 5-percent decrease in the proportion of strikes
by AFL-CIO affiliates and a 23-percent decrease in the
proportion of workers involved. However, idleness of
these workers increased from 53 to 60 percent. In con
trast, strikes by unaffiliated unions increased from 30 to
33 percent and workers involved from 20 to 38 percent
(table 7). Slightly more than one-half of the work stop
page activity by unaffiliated unions resulted from five
major strikes.
The 290 strikes and 1.4 million days of idleness ini
tiated by professional associations were the highest ever
recorded; worker involvement, at 100,000, was exceed
ed only in 1975. These increases reflect the high level
of government strike activity reported during the year.
Most of the 2.6 million professional employee associa
tion members are government employees.4
Work stoppage measures increased in absolute and
relative terms for the third year in a row for single-firm
unions, reaching 74 strikes, 19,000 workers, and 281,000
Major issue
As in the past, economic issues predominated (table
11). In 1979, about 70 percent of the strikes and the
workers involved in them, and 80 percent of the idle
ness, were economically motivated. Almost all these
strikes (95 percent) concerned general wage changes.
Economic issues were less frequent in short strikes,
causing only 27 percent and 46 percent, respectively,
of those lasting 1 day and 2 to 3 days (table 26). More
than four-fifths of the strikes over economic issues lasted
at least a week.
Plant administration continued to be the second ma
jor issue, accounting for 13 percent of all strikes and
27 percent of those involving 500 to 999 workers.
Similarly, major stoppages occurred most frequently
over economic issues (seven stoppages), followed by
plant administration (three stoppages) and job security
(one stoppage) (text table 3 and table 13). Two of the
strikes over administration issues were settled in 1 day;
the third, a dispute between the International Harvest-

NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal
totals. Dashes indicate no data. Major work stoppages are those
involving 10,000 workers or more.
Economic issues are defined as genaral wage changes,
supplementary benefits, wage adjustments, and hours of work.

may not equal the sum of its components because individual
stoppages occuring in 2 groups or more are counted in each. Workers

ment-contributed to the significant increases in work
ers on strike (20 percent) and idleness (30 percent) in
this sector. These measures rose particularly in farm
implement and construction machinery manufacturing
(reaching 93,000 workers and 3.1 million days idle in
the wake of three major strikes), petroleum refining
(12,000 workers and 260,000 days idle), and rubber
(28,000 workers and 768,000 days idle) (table 14).
As in 1978, workers in fabricated metal products and
nonelectrical machinery struck most often. The propor
tion of lost working time was greatest in nonelectrical
machinery, reaching 0.90 percent of estimated total
worktime, a 24-year high for the industry. Other indus
tries experiencing a high proportion of idleness were
paper and allied products, fabricated metal products,
and petroleum refining.
Despite the increase in work stoppage activity in
manufacturing as a whole, sizable declines were regis
tered in textile mill products, paper and allied products,
and the printing industries.
Industry
Until the late 1960’s, strike measures were generally
higher for manufacturing industries than for nonmanu
facturing. Since then, nonmanufacturing industries have
taken the lead in strikes and workers involved in them,
primarily because of greatly increased strike activity in
mining and government; comparative levels of idleness
in the two sectors have fluctuated. Only in the propor
tion of lost worktime has manufacturing remained con
sistently higher than the nonmanufacturing sector. Thus,
in 1979, 58 percent of the idleness but only 48 percent
of the strikes and 39 percent of the workers involved
manufacturing industries. The idleness rate was 0.39
percent in manufacturing, compared to 0.08 in nonman
ufacturing. In manufacturing, all work stoppage meas
ures increased compared to 1978. In nonmanufacturing,
strikes increased by an even greater proportion (20 per
cent, compared to 8 percent in manufacturing), but oth
er measures, idleness in particular, declined (charts 1-3
and table 14).
Nonmanufacturing. Strike activity in government and
contract construction has been moving in opposite di
rections in recent years. After peaking in 1970, strike
levels in contract construction declined progressively
to a 30-year low of 273 strikes, 121,000 workers, and
1.4 days per thousand lost due to strikes in 1979. Idle
ness dropped to a 29-year low of 1.6 million days. How
ever, strikes in government have been increasing for
Manufacturing. Heavy bargaining in 1979 in several
manufacturing industries-petroleum refining, rubber,

the most part since 1971. In 1979, record levels of strikes
(593), days of idleness (3 million), and idleness as a per
cent of time worked (0.08) were reached. A near record
one-quarter of a million workers were involved in these
disputes, the majority of which occurred at the city
level.
In mining, the number of stoppages increased over
1978, while idleness dropped to 5 percent of that in
1978 when the bituminous coal strike was in effect.
Because of four large stoppages, the industry group
1970
1975
1979
comprising transportation, communication, electric,
gas, and sanitary services led in workers on strike and
idleness. The nationwide trucking strike alone ac
counted for 13 percent of all workers on strike. (Truck
ing was the only nonmanufacturing industry to under
go major collective bargaining in 1979.) Idleness in ag
riculture was boosted to sixteenth place from twen
ty-eighth among the 29 major industry groups by a
stoppage of lettuce growers that idled 3,300 workers
for a total of 400,000 days.

Occupation
Location
Production and maintenance employees, the most
highly unionized occupational group, again had more
strikes than any other occupational group, 3,879 in 1979
(table 15). The number of stoppages and workers in
volved increased for this group in 1979, but idleness
declined to 23 million days. Most walkouts by produc
tion and maintenance employees took place in mining,
followed by wholesale and retail trade, and fabricated
metal products. However, the greatest worker involve
ment occurred in the transportation, communication,
electric, gas, and sanitary services industry, and the
most idleness in nonelectrical machinery.
Strikes by salesworkers occurred primarily in whole
sale and retail trade, although three strikes by sales
workers in food and kindred products, involving about
300 workers, accounted for 31 percent of the idleness
for this group.
The majority of strikes by professional and technical,
clerical, and protective workers occurred in the gov
ernment sector. Of the strikes by professional and tech
nical workers, three-fourths involved teachers em
ployed by government units (tables 15 and 19). Eightynine percent of the walkouts by protective workers (po
lice, firefighters, and other protective workers) oc
curred in government, primarily city government (ta
ble 18). While clerical workers employed in govern
ment were involved in three times as many strikes as
those employed in services, they only accounted for
nine-tenths as much idleness.
Six States accounted for more than one-half the strikes
(55 percent) in 1979, and, as would be expected, these
States are the more populous and unionized ones (table
21). Pennsylvania continued to experience the greatest
number of stoppages, followed by Ohio, California, Illi
nois and New York, and Michigan. Illinois and Ohio
had more workers involved and more days of idleness
than any other State. Regionally, strike activity was
greatest in the north central States, including Illinois,
Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, and Wisconsin,
and in several States along the central part of the east
ern seaboard, from Delaware through West Virginia.
Table 23 includes industry data for States having 25
stoppages or more in 1979.
Among metropolitan areas, the New York-Northeast
ern New Jersey Standard Consolidated Area led in
strike activity, with 393 stoppages involving 114,000
workers and 1.9 million days of idleness (table 24). The
Chicago-Northwestern Indiana Standard Consolidated
Area, while experiencing less than one-half the number
of stoppages as the New York SCA, had almost as many
workers involved and days of idleness. Los Angeles,
Peoria, Chicago, and New York City all experienced
more than 1 million days of idleness.
The idleness rate was highest in Illinois, 3.5 working
days idle per thousand, while West Virginia, Ohio, and
Connecticut ranked next with 3.2 days per thousand
each. In West Virginia, the rate fell from 22 days per
thousand in 1978 as the result of a large drop in idle-

As usual, the preponderance of these strikes, 96 per
cent, involved miners (table 31), and two-thirds of them
concerned disputes over plant administration (table 30).
The proportion of strikes settled with a court injunc
tion was about the same as in 1977 and 1978, 1 percent.
This was much lower than in earlier years. These strikes
occurred primarily in mining, contract construction,
and government, usually while a contract was in effect.
The employer went out of business in 42 stoppages,
the highest number since 1974. However, such strikes
affected only 3,300 workers, 0.2 percent of the total on
strike. Fewer strikes were halted when workers returned
to their jobs without having their demands met (strike
broken) in 1979 than in 1978, 157 compared to 170.
One-fourth of the idleness from these disputes arose
over job security.
ness in the mining industry. California and New York,
despite high levels of idleness, lost only 1.4 and 1.1 days
per thousand, respectively, less than the national aver
age of 1.5, because of the large size of their work forces.
In strikes by government workers, Michigan had the
greatest number of stoppages, followed by California
and Pennsylvania (table 20). Michigan and California
also reported the largest numbers of government work
ers on strike and the most idleness. Together, they ac
counted for nearly 1 million days of idleness in govern
ment strikes. One-half of the idleness in Michigan by
government employees was due to the large Detroit
teachers’ strike and one-fourth in California resulted
from two strikes by transit workers in Los Angeles and
in Oakland. Running counter to the overall increase in
government workers on strike, the number on strike in
Pennsylvania dropped by two-thirds to the lowest lev
el since 1969.
At least one-half of the workers on strike and the re
sulting idleness in the District of Columbia, Hawaii, and
Montana stemmed from government strikes. In six
States, however, there were no government strikes: Ar
izona, New Hampshire, North Dakota, South Carolina,
South Dakota, and Virginia.
Professional and technical workers struck most fre
quently in Michigan, but the most idleness for this group
was in California and Ohio (table 22). Strike-related
idleness and worker involvement among service em
ployees were much greater in New York than in any
other State. Strike activity by clerical workers was
highest in California, where 55 percent of all striking
clerical workers were employed in 1979.
Impasse procedures
The resolution of collective bargaining impasses may
require resorting to outside parties, government or pri
vate, for mediation. In 1979, this occurred in 56 percent
of the stoppages, more than in most years but a little
less than in 1978 (table 28). Government agencies, pri
marily Federal, mediated 96 percent of these stoppages.
Disputes employing mediation involved proportionately
more workers and idleness than strikes, because of the
greater use of this procedure in major strikes. Seven
major strikes resolved by mediation accounted for 36
percent of the workers and 22 percent of the idleness
of mediated disputes. Mediation was called for with
greater frequency in renegotiation disputes than in those
that arose during initial contract talks or during the
term of a contract.
There were 332 stoppages that ended with a proce
dure for resolving still unsettled issues as part of the
formal settlement (table 30). From the information avail
able for 172 of these strikes (table 32), the procedure
agreed to most frequently was direct negotiations, fol
lowed by arbitration and mediation.
Among strikes ending with a procedure for handling
unsettled issues, the largest proportion, 44 percent, oc
curred during renegotiation of a contract. Nevertheless,
the proportion that occurred during the term of an
agreement, 38 percent, was more than double the pro
portion among all strikes. Direct negotiations were the
most commonly chosen impasse procedure in strikes
occurring during negotiation of first agreements or re
negotiation of agreements, while arbitration was pre
ferred for midcontract strikes and mediation for those
occurring in absence of a contract.
Settlement
About the same proportion of strikes in 1979 as in
1978, 83 percent, ended with either all issues resolved
or an established procedure for handling the remaining
differences (table 29). These stoppages accounted for
nine-tenths of the workers involved and days of idle
ness. Where the formal settlement consisted of a pro
cedure for handling unsettled issues, 54 percent were
disputes over general wage changes and 23 percent over
plant administration, compared to 76 percent and 7 per
cent, respectively, for disputes where all issues were
resolved in settlement. Ninety percent of all stoppages
in manufacturing industries but only 76 percent in non
manufacturing were settled formally.
The proportion of unsettled short protest or sympa
thy strikes rose from 4 to 6 percent over 1978, but re
mained well below the proportions in other recent years.

Th e number o f stoppages and workers relates to stoppages beginning
in the year; average duration, to those ending in the year. Days o f idleness
include all stoppages in effect. Workers are counted m ore than once if they
were involved in more than 1 stoppage during the year. Available inform a
tion fo r earlier periods appears in Handbook o f Labor Statistics, 1 97 8, BLS
Bulletin 2 0 0 0 (1 9 7 9 ), table 151. For a discussion o f the procedures
involved in the collection and com pilation o f w ork stoppage statistics, see
BLS Handbook o f Methods, BLS Bulletin 1 91 0 (1 9 7 6 ), chapter 27.

1 Mean duration is calculated only for stoppages ending in the year, and is
weighted by multiplying the duration of each stoppage by the workers involved.
* See footnote 3, table 1.
3 The number of stoppages reported for a major industry group or division
may not equal the sum of its components because individual stoppages occurring in
2 or more groups have been counted in each. Workers involved and days idle have
been allocated among the respective groups.
4 Fewer than 50.
_
0.08
5 Less than 0.005 percent.
6 The situations reported here have, for statistical purposes, been deemed to fall
within the Bureau's definition of a work stoppage. This decision does not constitute
a legal determination that a work stoppage has taken place in violation of any law
or public policy.
NOTE: Because of rounding, sums of individual items may not equal totals.
Dashes indicate no data.

1 Totals in this table differ from those in tables 1, 2, and 4 and 6-24 because these data refer to
stoppages that ended during the year and may include idleness from strikes which began in a previous
year.
2 The number of stoppages reported for a major industry group or division may not equal the
sum of its components because individual stoppages occurring in 2 or more groups have been
counted in each. Workers involved and days idle have been allocated among the respective groups.
3 Includes other finished products made from fabrics and similar materials.
4 Excludes ordnance, machinery, and transportation equipment.
s Includes professional, scientific, and controlling instruments; photographic and optical goods;
watches and clocks

1 Totals in this table differ from those in tables 1, 2, and 4 and 6-24 because these data refer
to stoppages that ended during the year and may include idleness from strikes which began in a pre
vious year.
1 The number of stoppages reported for a major industry group or division may not equal the
sum of its components because individual stoppages occurring in 2 or more groups have been
counted in each. Workers involved and days idle have been allocated among the respective groups.

ployment and idleness as a percent of total working
time, the following employment figures have been used:
From 1927 to 1950, all employed workers were in
cluded in the base, except those in occupations and pro
fessions in which little, if any, union organization ex
isted or in which stoppages rarely, if ever, occurred.
In most industries, all wage and salary workers were
included in total employment except those in executive,
managerial, or high supervisory positions, or those per
forming professional work the nature of which made
union organization or group action unlikely. This meas
ure of employment also excluded all self-employed per
sons; domestic workers; workers on farms employing
fewer than six persons; all Federal and State govern
ment employees; and officials, both elected and appoint
ed, in local government.
From 1951 to 1966, the Bureau’s estimates of total
employment in nonagricultural establishments, exclu
sive of government, were used as a base. Days of idle
ness computed on the basis of nonagricultural employ
ment (exclusive of government) usually differed by less
than one-tenth of a percentage point from that obtained
by the former method, while the percentage of work
ers idle (compared with total employment) differed by
about five-tenths of a point. For example, the percent
age of workers idle during 1950 computed on the base
used for the earlier years was 6.9, and the percentage
for days of idleness was 0.44, compared with 6.3 and
0.40, respectively, computed on the new base.
From 1967 to 1973, two estimates of employment were
used, one based on the wage and salary workers in the
civilian work force, and the other on those in the pri
vate nonfarm sector.1 The new private nonfarm series
closely approximated the former BLS series which, as
noted, excluded government and agricultural workers
from employment totals, but accounted for idleness by
such workers while on strike. The old method had re
sulted in an increasingly distorted measure of the se
verity of strikes; the likely growth of strike activity
among government and farmworkers would have dis
torted the measure even more in the future. The “total
economy” measure of strike idleness now included gov
ernment and agricultural workers in its employment
count as well as in the computation of idleness ratios,
The relative measures. In computing the number of
workers involved in strikes as a percent of total em

Idleness,” Monthly Labor Review, October 1968, pp. 54-56.
It is the purpose of this statistical series to report all
work stoppages in the United States that involve six
workers or more and continue for the equivalent of a
full day or shift or longer.
Definitions
Strike or lockout. A strike is defined as a temporary
stoppage of work by a group of employees (not neces
sarily members of a union) to express a grievance or
enforce a demand. A lockout is a temporary withhold
ing or denial of employment during a labor dispute to
enforce terms of employment upon a group of employ
ees. Because of the complexity of most labor-manage
ment disputes, the Bureau makes no attempt to distin
guish between strikes and lockouts in its statistics; both
types are included in the term “work stoppage” and
are used interchangeably. The terms “dispute,” “labormanagement disputes,” and “walkout” are also used
interchangeably.
Workers and idleness. The figures on the number of
“workers involved” and “days idle” include all work
ers made idle for one shift or longer in establishments
directly involved in a stoppage. They do not account
for secondary idleness—that is, the effects of a stoppage
on other establishments or industries whose employees
may be made idle as a result of material or service
shortages.
The total number of workers involved in strikes in a
given year may include double counting of individual
workers if they were involved in more than one stop
page during that year. (Thus, in 1977, the Bureau re
corded some 650,000 bituminous coal and lignite min
ing workers as participating in strikes, while 214,000
workers were employed in the industry.)
In some prolonged stoppages, the total days of idle
ness are estimated if the number of workers idle each
day is not known. Significant changes in the number of
workers idle are secured from the parties for use in
computing days of idleness.

but excluded forestry, fishery, and private household
workers from the base. To facilitate comparisons over
time, the figure for the total economy had been carried
back to 1939 (table 1). The “private nonagricultural”
measure excluded agricultural and government work
ers from employment totals and these groups were also
removed from strike figures in arriving at a percentage
of nonagricultural working time idle.
Beginning in 1974, government workers have been
added to employment and idleness ratios (table 21).
The differences in the various measures are illustrated
in appendix table 1 in which the components of each
measure and and the methods of computations are set
forth.
“Estimated working time” is computed by multiply
ing the average employment for the year by the num
ber of days typically worked by most employed work
ers during that year. In these computations, Saturdays
(when customarily not worked), Sundays, and estab
lished Federal holidays are excluded.2
was compiled. Information is published only for those
areas in which at least five stoppages were recorded
during the year.
Some metropolitan areas include counties in more
than one State, and hence, statistics for an area may
occasionally equal or exceed totals for the State in which
the major city is located. Stoppages in the mining and
logging industries are excluded from metropolitan area
data but are reported by industry and State.
Unions involved. For this purpose, the union is the or
ganization whose contract was involved or which has
taken active leadership in the stoppage. Disputes in
volving more than one union are classified as jurisdic
tional or rival union disputes or as involving coopera
ting unions. If unorganized workers strike, a separate
classification is used. However, the tabulations of
“workers involved” include all who are made idle for
one shift or longer in establishments directly involved
in the dispute, including members of other unions and
nonunion workers. Information is presented by major
affiliation of the union, i.e., AFL-CIO, or, if there is no
affiliation, by the designations “independent,” “single
firm,” “no union,” or “employee association.”
Duration. Although only workdays are used in com
puting total days of idleness, duration is expressed in
calendar days, including nonworking days.
State data. Stoppages occurring in more than one State
are listed separately in each State affected. The work
ers and days of idleness are allocated among each of
the affected States.3The procedures outlined in the sec
tion on relative measures also have been used in pre
paring estimates of idleness by State.
Sources of Information
Occurrence of strikes. Information on the actual or
probable existence of work stoppages is collected from
a number of sources. Clippings on labor disputes are
obtained from a comprehensive coverage of daily and
weekly newspapers throughout the country. Informa
tion also is received regularly from the Federal Medi
ation and Conciliation Service. Other sources of infor
mation include State boards of mediation and arbitra
tion; research divisions of State labor departments; lo
cal offices of State employment security agencies; and
trade and union journals. Some employer associations,
companies, and unions also furnish the Bureau with
work stoppage information on a voluntary cooperative
basis, either as stoppages occur or periodically.
Metropolitan area data. Information is tabulated sepa
rately for Standard Metropolitan Statistical Areas
(SMSA’s) and Standard Consolidated Areas (SCA’s) as
defined by the Office of Management and Budget and,
in addition, for a few communities historically includ
ed in the strike series before the current list of areas
2For example, the total economy figure for 1978 was computed by
multiplying the average employment for the year by the number of
working days (85,763,000 x 251 = 21,526,513,000) and dividing this
figure into the total number of days of idleness.
3The same procedure is followed in allocating data on stoppages
occurring in more than one industry, industry group, or metropoli
tan area.
Respondents to questionnaire. A questionnaire is mailed
to each of the parties reported as involved in work

ers involved, duration, major issues, location, method
of settlement, and other pertinent information.
Limitations o f data. Although the Bureau seeks to ob
tain complete coverage, i.e., a “census” of all strikes
involving six workers or more and lasting a full shift
or more, information is undoubtedly missing on some
strikes involving small numbers of workers. Presum
ably, these missing strikes do not substantially affect the
number of workers and days of idleness reported.
To improve the completeness of the count of stop
pages, the Bureau has constantly sought to develop new
sources of information on the probable existence of
stoppages. Over the years, these sources have probably
increased the number of strikes recorded, but have had
little effect on the number of workers or total idleness.
As new agencies or organizations having knowledge of
the existence of work stoppages are established or iden
tified, every effort is made by the Bureau to establish
cooperative arrangements.
