Striketober

Striketober refers to a significant wave of labor strikes that occurred in the United States during October 2021. Fueled by rising inflation, worker dissatisfaction, and increased demands for better wages and working conditions, thousands of workers across various industries—including healthcare, education, and manufacturing—staged strikes or work stoppages. This movement highlighted the growing labor activism and solidarity among workers, signaling a push for stronger rights and benefits during a time of economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic. Striketober brought attention to the ongoing challenges faced by labor unions and workers nationwide.
