2021 saw groundbreaking union drives at Amazon and Starbucks, repeated assertions of power by health care workers, prolonged fights at John Deere and Warrior Met Coal, and strikes at Kellogg’s, Nabisco, Frito-Lay and many more.

The overall number of workers involved in 2021’s “Striketober” doesn’t compare to the 85,000 of October 2019. Further contradicting the strike wave narrative was the sobering revelation that,
despite the expansion into new sectors, the total number of organizing election petition filings had actually fallen to a record lowScattered wins for scattered workforces, diffuse acts of protest and angry resignations are not the same thing as collective working-class power., while the “strike wave” is in some ways overstated, it’s still the case that “private sector strike activity is not only growing, it’s spreading throughout the economy in a fashion largely unseen in over a decade.
