Amid a “perfect storm” of factors, organized labor and strikes have drawn major attention this year, a boon for unions.
Right now, UAW workers are three weeks into strikes at dozens of Ford, GM, and Stellantis plants across the country. Fain’s Facebook livestreams capture tens of thousands of viewers as the union fights for lucrative contract terms. President Joe Biden even joined the UAW picket line. Even further back, in late 2020, the first Starbucks store in the U.S. voted to unionize. That set off a wave of other efforts at stores across the country, and now workers at the company have won union elections at some 300 locations.
Finally, unions might feel as though they have some cover to make these big asks and hold these strikes because they have allies in the executive branch. Biden has courted union and blue-collar support and can’t afford to lose it. “Unions are more in the public consciousness, you have a tight labor market, you do have a Democrat in the White House … you have a friendly National Labor Relations Board who might help resolve the nature of some of these strikes … so we’ve got a little bit of a perfect storm coming together here,” Bowling said.
