Abstract
This article deals with Lithuanian practice and problems concerning the possibility to realise the right to strike.
The strikes as the way of resolving the collective labour disputes become more and more popular in Lithuania. The rising of collective labour disputes is caused by many different reasons, such as unfavourable economic and social conditions in our state, also the reluctance of social partners to reach social compromise between themselves. Such situation stimulates the trade unions to go on strikes. It is not the best way to solve the collective labour disputes and it raises the number of legal problems in Lithuanian practice.
The right to Strike is one of the rights, which are ensured by the international freedom of associations principle. The International Labour Organisation grants the large attention to this principal and also to the right to strike. There is the special Committee of the Freedom of Association which works under this international Organisation. This Committee formulated more than hundred digests, which deal with the realisation of the right to strike.

These strikes showed the number of problems in Lithuanian legal regulation of the organising the strikes. Moreover the organisers of these strikes initiated the investigation of the complaint in the Committee of the Freedom of Association. The conclusions and remarks given by this Committee are analysed in article.
