Constitutionalization of the right to strike

In anticipation of a new law that would regulate in detail, and in accordance with international standards and practice, the right of employees to strike, the author tries to consider certain important aspects of that right, as the basic form of collective action of employees. Therefore, the paper raises the issue of constitutionalization of the right to strike in domestic and comparative law, and at the same time problematizes the definition of the concept of strike by constitutional and legal norms. In order to better understand the problem, and in connection with the constitutionalization of the right to strike, using the comparative law method of research, special attention is paid to the constitutional guarantees of the right to strike in comparative law. Also, the author tries to theoretically determine the concept of strike, as well as to point out the important elements of the strike that are stated in certain scientific discussions. Finally, a critical review was given to the issue of regulating this right in our area in the period of self-governing socialism, when this right was not regulated by constitutional norms or a special law, and the similarities and differences between the concept of strike and the concept of work stoppage were analyzed.

Power Quality of Electrical Power Systems

Power quality problems can cause processes and equipment to malfunction or shut down. And the consequences can range from excessive energy costs to complete work stoppage. Obviously, power quality is critical. There are many ways in which a power feed can be poor quality, and so no single figure can completely quantify the quality of a power feed. In this chapter, the authors present all definitions, classifications, and problems related to power quality. Finally, they do a comparison between the practical measurements and standards related to power quality.

“A Wave of Crime”

This chapter begins by observing a difference between the British and Zionist crimino-national framings of the rebellion. The British initially portrayed both the Arab work stoppage and violence as criminal behavior, but they acknowledged that the strike was widely popular among Arab Palestinians. The Zionists went further, insisting that the strike and the revolt were both the work of a criminal Arab leadership, which had coerced the docile Arab masses into supporting them. The chapter goes on to chart the steady British drift toward the Zionist position and to detail the political circumstances that occasioned this drift. Chief among these circumstances was a dilemma. The British had predicated their post-WWI occupation of the Middle East on London's support of the national aspirations of the region's inhabitants. They were therefore poorly positioned to recognize His Majesty's role in stifling those aspirations.

US dock strike unlikely to be repeated

Significance The slowdown led to extreme backlogs at the ports, which are responsible for about 45.0% of containerised cargo in the United States and goods representing 12.5% of GDP. Importers and exporters are concerned that the tactic of an economically-damaging slowdown or complete work stoppage may be repeated at the end of the contract, or at ports on the East or Gulf Coasts. Impacts The economic impact of the slowdown is calculated to have cost GDP one percentage point in the fourth quarter of 2014. State actions against unions will provide case studies for examining their impact on wage levels. The segmentation of the US economy has made low-income workers suited for greater unionisation. However, they are also most vulnerable to employer action and less able to withstand strikes.

Robust Monitoring of Contaminated Multivariate Data

Monitoring a process that suffers from data contamination using a traditional multivariate T2 chart can lead to an excessive number of false alarms. A diagnostic statistic can be used to distinguish between real control chart signals due to assignable causes and signals due to contamination from a single outlier. In phase II analysis, a traditional T2 control chart augmented by a diagnostic statistic improves the work stoppage rates for multivariate processes suffering from contaminated data and maintains the ability to detect process shifts.
