Demonstration actions - political strike
A demonstration action (often somewhat imprecisely referred to as a "political strike") is an action that is not directed against the collective agreement, or against anyone bound by it.
For such an action to be legal, it must
- be detached from a specific collective agreement.
- have the main purpose of demonstrating opposition to political proposals or decisions that do not affect the employee's own collective agreement.
- be short-lived (one or two hours is most common).
- not be directed against the employer's right to control, for example decisions in employment and dismissal cases. It may be legal to demonstrate against political decisions, but not against the employer's implementation of these.
