I have been writing for the past few years about the dramatic increase in Labor strikes and anti-government demonstrations across the globe. The U.S has not escaped disquietude over labor issues and wage inequality, even before the coronavirus pandemic crisis began, the U.S. Labor strikes statistics were already at the highest level since the 1980’s, on top of the anxiety about the growing public and private pension funding gap. Since the Coronavirus pandemic began, I have written that union organizing activities are going to increase substantially after this crisis is passed caused by ongoing economic instability and beliefs that safety concerns were not being addressed sufficiently With unemployment estimated to reach 20 to 35 percent during this virus shutdown we are seeing unions and workers using these uncertain times to flex their muscles and use their considerable leverage with essential worker employers to gain bargaining power, the goal is to become much more relevant to today’s workforce. I am advising my clients on how to get in front of the oncoming wave of employee agitation, the workers who feel they were tossed aside too easily and too cheaply by their employers.
