Strikes, Lockouts and Interference Clause Samples
The "Strikes, Lockouts and Interference" clause defines how contractual obligations are affected when work is disrupted by labor disputes or external interference. Typically, this clause outlines the rights and responsibilities of the parties if work is halted due to strikes by employees, lockouts initiated by employers, or interference from third parties such as government actions or protests. For example, it may specify whether delays caused by such events excuse performance or allow for extensions of time. The core function of this clause is to allocate risk and clarify procedures in the event of labor-related disruptions, ensuring both parties understand their rights and obligations during unforeseen work stoppages.
