"In all European Union (EU) Member States, the right to strike is an important part of collective action in labour disputes for employees to protect their lawful interests. In a comparative perspective, this article analyses the theoretical and practical aspects of the right to strike in individual Member States, legal regulations specifically dealing with this right, implementation provisions, and procedures for calling strikes. This article provides a comparison between a number of EU Member States and examines the experience of old and new EU Member States, with particular reference to recent developments in Lithuania."
