 LABOUR, DEPARTMENT OF - INDUSTRIAL RELATIONS - 1966 Encyclopaedia of New Zealand
As a general rule the great majority of strikes occur in four industries – coal mines, construction, freezing works, and waterfront – where there are less personal employer-employee relationships, or particularly unpleasant or hazardous conditions, or a high proportion of casual or seasonal employment, or a combination of such factors.
In over three-quarters of New Zealand's economic activities, strikes are almost unknown and conciliation and arbitration procedures are the recognised means of settling disputes.
From time to time the comment has been made that New Zealand employers' and workers' organisations meet each other only when in dispute and that on those occasions their discussions are limited to the disputed matters.
