Work Stoppages Data

The series covers all work stoppages--strikes and lockouts--involving 1,000 workers or more and lasting one full shift or longer. The Bureau does not attempt to differentiate between strikes and lockouts. The series does not measure the indirect or secondary effect of stoppages on other establishments whose employees are idled by material shortages or lack of services. For the series, a stoppage is considered to be ended when the number of workers involved dips below 1,000. The series presents annual data from 1947 through 1981 and annual and monthly data thereafter; it is not comparable with the one terminated in 1981 that covered stoppages involving six workers or more.
