Europe on Strike: Wildcat Strikes as a pan-European Phenomenon, 1944-1953. KU Leuven
During the first post-war years, Europe saw thousands of strikes – the great majority of which was of a wildcat character (i.e. not backed by trade union leaderships), short-lived (often lasting no longer than a couple of hours), and inspired by bread-and-butter concerns (with demands for better provisions almost always taking centre stage).
