Abstract

This article examines empirically the impact of economic and experiential variables on industrial disputes and strike frequency in Nigeria. Using Data for the 1976-88 period, the study describes how the economic variables combine with previous strike experiences within the economy to influence the strategic choices of labor in new strike situations. It was found that economic factors explain both filing of trade disputes and striking more than experiential variables. The implication of the findings for review of existing models of strikes is discussed.
