            Abstract

            The strike is an extreme form of labor dispute. We analyze the nature, causes and characteristics of current strikes in China on the basis of theories of strikes and then analyze the effects of striking on the improvement of workers' living conditions. We make use of a labor-capital bargaining model to compare the strikers' cost when there is legislation protecting workers' right to strike with the cost when there is no legislation and come to the conclusion that we should promote legislation to protect workers' right to strike according to the current labor-capital relationship in China to construct harmonious socialist society, and this is a Pareto improvement.
