☆ Over 500,000 workers went on strike in 2023 — double from last year

The report finds that, in 2023, there were 470 work stoppages — 466 of which were strikes. In total, around 539,000 workers were involved in work stoppages last year. And while most work stoppages involved workers in unions, around a fifth were actually helmed by nonunion workers — meaning they had less protection than their unionized counterparts. A common misperception around strike activity, he said, is that union leaders are pushing workers to go on strike when they don’t want to. “Unions are more willing to use the strike weapon after it being pretty quiet for quite a while,” Colvin said.

"When you see another union succeed, you're more inclined to push yourself for a better deal," he adds. "There's a contagion effect in seeing the [strike] strategy working, and you're more likely to use it yourself." "Good wages, benefits and job protections that you see in unionized jobs are going to attract workers. "Hollywood is a good example," he adds, "where people in technical trades that support productions have a lot of protections and benefits.
