97: Performance of duties of striking or locked out employees
or “Rules about who can do the work of employees who are on strike or locked out”
You could also call this:

“A list of worker protests and employer shutdowns must be kept and shared with the boss”

If workers go on strike or if an employer locks out workers, the employer has some important jobs to do. You need to keep a record of what happened during the strike or lockout. This record must be in a special form that the law says you should use. After the strike or lockout is over, you have one month to send a copy of this record to the chief executive. The chief executive is an important person in the government who needs to know about these things.
