Streik und Arbeitskampfregeln im internationalen Vergleich

Abstract

Ein internationaler Arbeitskampfvergleich weist Deutschland als ein Land mit relativ wenig Arbeitskonflikten aus. Im jährlichen Durchschnitt des Beobachtungszeitraums 1971/2000 gingen auf 1.000 Beschäftigte gerechnet 30 Arbeitstage durch Streiks und Aussperrung verloren. Weniger Ausfalltage gab es in Japan, den Niederlanden, Österreich und der Schweiz. Island und Italien sind unter den 22 untersuchten Industrieländern diejenigen mit den höchsten arbeitskampfbedingten Arbeitszeitverlusten. Allgemein lässt sich feststellen, dass die arbeitskampfbedingten Arbeitszeitverluste im Laufe der Jahre abgenommen haben. Dies ist unter anderem auf den Strukturwandel in Richtung des streikresistenteren Dienstleistungssektors, auf Erfolge bei der Inflationsbekämpfung und teilweise auch auf den sinkenden gewerkschaftlichen Organisationsgrad zurückzuführen. Die Arbeitskampfbilanz wird aber auch durch die institutionelle Ausgestaltung der Arbeitsbeziehungen und durch die Regeln, die bei einem Arbeitskampf eingehalten werden müssen, beeinflusst. Länder mit hoher Regeldichte haben tendenziell weniger Ausfalltage zu verkraften als andere.
