Comparative History of Lockouts

In 2000 IISH researcher Sjaak van der Velden wrote a dissertation analysing 14,000 database records on Dutch strikes between 1830 and 1995. The IISH is about to publish this database on it's Website. In the mean time Van der Velden worked on another project, a database containing more than 800 records on Dutch lock-outs between 1830 and 2000. This data will also be published on the IISH-Website later this year.
