As one of the trade union rights, the right to strike had different historical development depending of the country, which also applies to legislative approach in regulating it. Basic issues regulated by statute are: defining the notion of the right to strike, general and special conditions for the realization of that right, relevant rights of workers taking part in the strike, duties of employer in case of strike, termination of strike and sanctions for not following the rules on settling labor disputes. Comparative analysis of legislation of Belgium, Finland, France, Greece, Italy, Malta, Hungary, Norway, Portugal, FR. of Germany and Uruguay shows that attention dedicated to the above issues was not of the same degree in these countries. However, general and special conditions for the realization of the right to strike are more or less regulated in all consulted legislation. Accordingly, special conditions are the subject of regulation particularly in the countries were strike is considered as a right, and not only a permitted means of pressure for settling collective labor disputes. General conclusion is that this right, as one of the specific rights guaranteed by the constitution, should be regulated by a special statute, which would include all basic questions relating to the right to strike.
