SAG-AFTRA to Starbucks | 23-year-high strike activity, record-low unionization - what does it all mean for HR?

The Bureau of Labor Statistics found that in 2023, the number of major strikes (33) involving 1,000 or more workers was at its highest in 23 years.

This totals some 458,900 workers. The number of work stoppages that include less than 1,000 workers is far higher, estimated by Cornell University’s Labor Action Tracker to clock in at 470, totaling nearly 25 million days of striking.
