Tares aid statistics show that strikes have been very much more than lockouts. The data for the federal Bureau of Labor, there were 37,000 strikes, as compared to lockouts for the period of operation. The figures also show that the strike was not due to labor, but rather to the lack of a strike. For example, if the tail over wages, he can hold onto a demand for an advance with a reduction. He can also take a position that will not be classed as a lockout.
