The Work Stoppages Program provides information on major work stoppages. These are stoppages that involve 1,000 workers or more and last a full shift or longer. Because of the complexity of disputes, BLS does not attempt to distinguish between strikes and lockouts in its data; both are included in the term "work stoppages."
The Collective Bargaining Agreements (CBA) program gathers agreements for bargaining units of 1,000 or more workers.
