Abstract

This paper tests if a strong labor movement leads to fewer industrial conflicts. The focus is on Sweden between the first general election in 1919 and the famous Saltsjöbaden Agreement in 1938, a formative period when the country transitioned from fierce labor conflicts to a state of industrial peace. We use panel data techniques to analyze more than 2000 strikes in 103 Swedish towns. We find that a shift of political majority towards the Social Democrats led to a significant decline in strikes, but only in towns where union presence was strong. The strike-reducing mechanism is related to corporatist explanations rather than increased social spending in municipal budgets.

社会民主和罢工的减少

本文检验了强大的劳工运动是否会导致更少的产业冲突。重点是瑞典在1919年第一次大选和1938年著名的Saltsjöbaden协议之间，这是该国从激烈的劳资冲突过渡到工业和平状态的形成时期。我们使用面板数据技术分析了瑞典103个城镇的2000多起罢工事件。我们发现，政治多数向社会民主党的转变导致了罢工的显著下降，但这只发生在工会势力强大的城镇。减少罢工的机制与社团主义者的解释有关，而不是市政预算中社会支出的增加。
