Downward trend of strike action disrupting business in last quarter

No working days were lost to industrial action during the three months to the end of September, marking the first time this has happened in a quarterly period since the tail end of last year.

The latest data from the CSO, published yesterday, continues a downward trend of incidents of strike action disrupting businesses.

However, the figure of zero working days lost has not been seen in any quarter since the last three months of 2014.
