Foreign Ownership and Strike Activity in Canada

Foreign Ownership and Strike Activity in Canada

J.-M. Cousineau, R. Lacroix et D. Vachon

Volume : 46-3 (1991)

Abstract

This microeconomic study of strike activity adds to an already tested empirical strike model, variables that are related to foreign-owned firms in Canada. AU results converge to the same and unique conclusion: foreign-owned firms in Canada show a lower strike propensity, everything else being constant. Such a result suggests that multinational firms may well develop bargaining "protocoles" that overcompensate problems of credibility and information expected to be associated with foreign-owned property.
