Number of American workers hitting picket lines more than doubled last year

US in decline too..

Not only Japan..

Go strikers fight for your rights!!..

These numbers show that unionization rates didn't keep pace with overall hiring. Experts note organizing gains have continued to be offset by nonunion job growth, as well as losses in more heavily unionized sectors.

Well, like it or not, we should acknowledge that many of the new hires in the US were those arriving across the border. Into low / lower paid jobs that historically have not been union jobs. If a large magic wand was waved across the land, and suddenly these jobs were automatically made to be union represented jobs, then the above numbers would certainly rise. But they are not, so it cannot.

The number of U.S. workers on strike more than doubled last year. According to an annual report from the Labor Action Tracker, a collaboration between researchers at Cornell University and the University of Illinois, those involved in work stoppages climbed 141% in 2023 to a total of 539,000 striking workers — up from 224,000 in 2022.

Workers across the G-20 should unionize and shut down the system if the neo-liberal, socialism for the rich system is not ended immediately.

Before automation makes their efforts futile.

It could be triggered , like almost happened during the pandemic and which freaked out the rentier oligarchs, by a monetary easing UBI subsidy to the public.

Then even Amazon workers could have walk-away money and not be tied by desperation and shut the businesses down if their demands were not met.

This is the nr1 nation in gdp people. Profits has never been as high they say. Not sure how that matter when large amount of the population is working on minimum wages and living off on tips.

No food, no money. It is to be expected.

HIGH Prices & inflation, while moderating's still making EVERYTHING more expensive. For example, most recent US CPI inflation report this week, Rent increased 6% vs. year ago = +$100/month on average for typical person.

Meanwhile Corp's $Price Gouging, record profits.

Any surprise so much labor strife and Biden historically low approval rating? 37% in last week's NBC poll, BUT 30pts behind TRUMP on issues of Inflation & Economy.

In general which workers are more gainfully employed union or non union?

In general which workers are more gainfully employed union or non union?

Shouldn't it be which workers are the happiest, thereby not electing revenge candidates for president?

US workers like workers everywhere getting CRUSHED by HIGH Prices, Inflation and High Interest Rates.

High Prices Embedded, not going down, those now in office VERY unpopular. Why most believe Trump's union support will be +50% this year, up from 28% in 2020.

Biden's bleeding support, due to poor favorability on Inflation & High Prices & economy dropping with all demographic groups except Top 1% relative to 2020.

US in decline too..

Total cope. The U.S. is doing better than almost every country economically

US has massive Govt. fiscal stimulus and the Treasury is goosing the money supply and bank capital ratios by issuing so MANY short term T-bills and notes, almost no debt being issued as that's not a cash equivalent for banks, hurts their lending capacity and money supply.

US consumer is spending but it's HIGH PRICES, not unit volume growth. Remember, retail sales not adjusted for inflation. Core CPI stuck at about 4% since June.

Consumers/Voters, VERY unhappy with HIGH Prices and reduced standards of living due to continued sticky persistent inflation & HIGH Interest Rates. Biden's so worried, as YOUTH suffer Most with high prices and continued inflation, especially high apt. rental costs.
