Against the backdrop of hot inflation and a tight market, strike activity spiked by about 50% in 2022, and the number of workers involved jumped 60% year over year, according to a new report.

Last year America's picket lines showed more activity as the country emerged from the coronavirus pandemic.

But education workers put the biggest stamp on labor action.

Historically, worker activism rises when the unemployment rates are low, shifting the power dynamic toward workers, according to Harry Katz a professor at ILR.
