Police Strikes
A police strike occurs when law enforcement is affected by a labour dispute. They are somewhat rare because police are usually treated better than other public sector workers. Generally, they are illegal, but this law is difficult to enforce; sometimes military personnel are called in to keep order or discipline the strikers. Police strikes cause civil unrest sometimes, but not always.
