The list does not necessarily cover all unions participating in the stoppage. Unlike with stoppages caused by labour disputes, no statutory advance notification applies to industrial action taken for political reasons. As regards political protests, several unions comply with the obligation to provide four days' advance notification based on the agreements concluded between labour market organisations. In practice, the National Conciliator is also notified of political stoppages, although they do not fall within the competence of the Conciliator.
The aim of a political stoppage is to influence political decision-makers. The reason for the stoppage is thus external to the labour market. For the above-mentioned reasons, political stoppages do not come under the scope of labour dispute conciliation and the National Conciliator does not take action regarding them. Therefore, the statutory obligation to provide 14 days' advance notification laid down in the Act on Mediation in Labour Disputes does not apply to them, either.
