摘 要：

This paper examines the relationship between high temperatures and the often overlooked collective labor dispute. Results suggest that each additional hot day in a month, identified by daily average temperatures exceeding the average for that calendar month throughout the study period, leads to a 3% increase in the incidence rate, a 13.5% higher probability, and a 5% increase in its size the following month. We analyze effect heterogeneity by action type, firm ownership, industry, and region. Furthermore, we provide supporting evidence for pathways connecting high temperatures to collective labor dispute, involving firms' lost profits and workers' psychological and physiological stress.
