- In some industries, such as transportation and defense, strikes are prohibited.
- One reason for strikes is the refusal of management to address employee issues or pay wages.
- The head of FNPR, Sergei Chernogayev, made these statements in an interview with 'Rossiyskaya Gazeta'.
Points of divergence
