The general decline of strikes does not necessarily imply that workers are demobilised. A dormant strike potential can be present. Drawing on strikes as ‘experience goods’, this article sheds light on this point by studying pro-strike attitudes among employees in 24 countries who have never been on strike. The variation in pro-strike attitudes is explained by both contextual (collective bargaining coverage, economic conditions and freedom of rights and liberties) and individual (union membership and confidence in unions, political values and household financial situation) factors. Deeper analyses of three countries highlight the potential impact of specific repertoires of contention developed over time on the formation of pro-strike attitudes. Implications for the labour conflict literature and union strategies are discussed.

罢工的普遍减少并不一定意味着工人复员了。可能存在潜在的中风。本文将罢工视为“体验产品”，通过研究从未罢工的24个国家/地区的员工对罢工的态度，阐明了这一点。罢工态度的变化既可以通过情境因素（集体谈判的覆盖面，经济条件以及权利和自由的自由）又可以通过个人因素（工会会员资格以及对工会，政治价值观和家庭财务状况的信心）来解释。对三个国家的更深入分析突显了特定争用表的潜在影响随着时间的流逝，人们对赞成罢工的态度逐渐形成。讨论了对劳动冲突文献和工会策略的影响。
