e/Union violence

New Query

Information
has glosseng: Violence in industrial disputes occurs within conflicts between employers and employees (labor) about pay or conditions at work. Such conflicts are normally resolved by economic power, or by bargaining if the two sides are of roughly equal power. Sometimes, however, one or both sides will attempt to enforce their position by violence. This is typically referred to as management violence by those on or in support of the employers' side in the dispute, and union violence by those on or in support of the labor side, especially if one or more trade unions is involved. Since the situations involve conflict, descriptions of events are frequently polemical rather than accurate, and the facts of who instigated what violence against whom are often difficult to ascertain. In situations of industrial dispute, the term "violence" is frequently applied to behaviour that would not be so described in other contexts, for example verbal abuse or attacks on property, and refers to physical attacks on persons.
