"Unprecedented Surge in Labor Strikes Expected to Continue in 2024"

In 2023, there were 393 strikes in the U.S., involving over 500,000 workers, with significant gains made by unions. Actors, autoworkers, and health workers were among those who went on strike, securing wage hikes and protections around AI use. These victories were part of a larger wave of worker efforts building up over the past few years, fueled by the success of previous fights and the state of the labor market. Experts believe the momentum will continue as more unionized workers enter contract negotiations, potentially benefiting non-union workers as well.
