All workers, including foreign workers in Liechtenstein, have the freedom to associate, join the unions of their choice, and select their union representatives. The existing social peace, in part due to the high standard of living, has resulted in a low demand for organized worker representation. The one trade union comprises 13 percent of the work force but looks after the interest of nonmembers as well. It is a member of the World Confederation of Labor, although it is represented at meetings by the Swiss National Christian Trade Union. Workers have the right to strike except in certain work categories, as outlined in work contracts and agreed to by the employees concerned.
Labor unrest is virtually nonexistent.
No strikes are known to have taken place in the last 25 years. Liechtenstein's law does not have specific protections for strikers. Such dismissals may be contested. The law provides workers the right to organize and bargain collectively. This right is recognized for all professions.
