The right to strike plays a substantial role in protecting the legitimate rights and interests of workers and enhancing justice in the workplace and society. It is then essential for the law in any democratic society to guarantee this right and make sure that adequate protection is given to the individual worker against sanctions for participation in a lawful strike. This paper thus considers the current legislation in Jordan on the right to strike, and explores the question of whether or not such right actually exists, and if so to what degree it complies with the standards that have been followed at European and international levels. This paper, however, is not intended to provide the final answer to all questions and challenges in this regard, but rather to identify the main components and provide some perspectives on how the law should deal with such right.
