Abstract
In this paper we outline the economic rationale behind the virtual strike, and workers" incentives to use this bargaining solution rather than resorting to standard strike action. We show that virtual strike would be most needed precisely when workers have weaker incentives to adopt it. We apply our findings to the analysis of Italy's draft legislation on virtual strikes.
