If workplace disputes are not resolved, it can lead to industrial action.

Industrial action usually happens when a dispute in the workplace can't be resolved through negotiation. There are three main forms of industrial action:

  • strike - where workers refuse to work for the employer
  • action short of a strike - where workers take action such as working to rule, go slows, overtime bans or callout bans
  • lock-out - a work stoppage where the employer stops workers from working

Industrial action is 'official' if it is formally backed by a trade union and members of that union are taking part in it.
