Abstract

By articulating constitutional prescriptions guaranteeing strike and the right to strike in the workplace, this article interrogates the impacts as well as implications of the transition of the right to strike from mere statutory right espoused in most labour law jurisprudence to constitutional right recognised in a number of the constitutions of states across the globe. It highlights a number of issues of concerns occasioned by the trend on constitutionalisation of the right to strike, and delve in closely-linked issues revolving around the concept of strike and tucked in notable decisions of courts, scholarly opinions and dedicated labour regulations. the article concludes by bringing to bear the need for future amendments of extant labour regulations to take cognisance of eclectic nature of constitutional provisions on strike so as to evolve consistent legal order on the discourse.
