Call it the Great Reset. Across the US, labor unions are winning surprisingly large contract settlements as workers have reset their expectations to demand considerably more than they did just a few years ago, and that has in turn pressured many corporations to reset – and increase – the pay packages they are giving in union contracts.
Interesting: I know the writer’s strike had a strike fund that helped sustain writers.
It’s not enough on its own but afaik most unions do have some amount set up for a strike fund
