  EMIRE: DENMARK - INDUSTRIAL ACTION
Opposing action on the employer's side may take the form of a lock-out (denial of the possibility of work to non-striking employees) and fllisting (an instruction to other employers within the same employers' association not to employ workers who are taking part in strike action).
The rules on notice of industrial action must also be observed when an organization which is bound by the peace obligation exercises its right to give notice of secondary action to be taken in support of a sister organization.
Thus, where the parties are covered by the Basic Agreement between the DA and LO industrial action may not be initiated with the aim of disrupting the principles governing the scope of the employer's managerial authority as laid down in the agreement.

Industrial action is usually taken when there is a dispute between workers and their employer over issues ranging from terms and conditions to union membership.
This is significant, as workers who participate in official industrial action are then protected from dismissal by their employer.
An industrial action can be taken in the form of a strike, work to rule, ban on overtime, or boycotts — they are all forms of industrial action.

 Stopping or Preventing Industrial Action in Australia - [2000] MULR 12; (2000) 24 Melbourne University Law Review 310
There are various exceptions to the statutory definition of ‘industrial action’, most notably action taken by employees ‘based on a reasonable concern by the employee about an imminent risk to his or her health or safety’.
Protected industrial action must be organised or engaged in by an eligible organisation or employee who is, or who is connected with, a negotiating party ‘for the purpose of supporting or advancing claims made in respect of the proposed [certified] agreement [s 170ML(2) of the Act]’.
The character of the industrial action is evaluated for purposes of establishing whether in the Commission’s view the industrial action is illegitimate, to a degree that the commencement or continuation of it should be subject to a direction causing it to be unlawful.

 EMIRE: SWEDEN - INDUSTRIAL ACTION
Industrial action is also used to put pressure on small employers to apply union standards (see boycott/fling), although in practice this refers almost exclusively to manual employment.
In the case of the public sector (see public employment), the general rule is that industrial action is permissible in accordance with the same principles as those applying in the private sector.
The rules specified in the Act are supplemented by provisions laid down in a basic agreement restricting, for example, the right to take industrial action in connection with issues for which regulation by collective agreement could be regarded as detrimental to political democracy.
