AUSTRIA:
Industrial disputes hit post-war peak in 2003 [23 November 2004]
http://www.eiro.eurofound.eu.int/2004/11/feature/at0411202f.html
Abstract:
Statistics published in October 2004 indicate that in 2003 strike activity in Austria reached its highest level since the Second World War. This resulted from large-scale trade union mobilisation, mainly in opposition to government reform plans related to public pensions and the structure of the state-owned Austrian Railways. Experts disagree as to whether the 2003 peak in industrial action was a one-off or marks a turning point in Austrian industrial relations.
