The Rise of One-Day Strikes

One-day strikes have emerged as a growing trend in the labor movement over the past decade, marking a shift in tactics for unions adapting to modern challenges. Unlike long-term strikes, which have become less common, these short strikes allow workers to minimize lost wages while still demonstrating solidarity and commitment to their causes. The increasing prevalence of one-day strikes aligns with the reality faced by low-wage workers, who may find it financially unfeasible to engage in lengthy strikes due to their economic situations. This approach provides a strategic avenue for maintaining public support while advocating for essential workplace demands.
