Introduction Industrial action may happen when different sides in a dispute cannot resolve the issue. The employer, employees or unions may take action. Content For employees, this is usually a strike or a work ban. An employer may take industrial action by locking out their employees. In some situations, the law gives employees the right to take action. Any action must follow the right process with the Commission.
