Strikes and Unions: What's Behind the Rise of Workers Walking Out?

View descriptionShare

In 2022, workers who went on strike increased by 50%. Today, all around the country, workplaces of different fields are walking out, striking and unionizing on a scale we haven't seen for decades. This got us thinking: Why do workers strike? Is there a pattern to be seen of these events throughout history?

In this Episode of Looped In, we explore the history of labor movements in our country and answer these questions with expert guests Dr. Steve Macek and Kim Kelly, journalist and author of the book "Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor."
