Economic
downturns and crises, among others, are some of the social
phenomena that trigger the restiveness of the labor
sector. Allegations
of the ill effects of strikes to the national economy
cause the public to debate on its propriety.
The
controversy factor attached to the issue has brought forth
serious debate between the labor sector, on one side, and
management, on the other.
The absence of studies concerning the relationship
between strikes and the national economy, likewise, makes
the issue more difficult to resolve.
This
paper seeks to determine the viability and non-viability
of having a strike ban as a policy option.
It strives to present a thorough analysis of the
legal implications of imposing a strike ban, and tries to
confront the issue concerning the alleged negative effects
of strikes on the economy and investors’ confidence.
