Almost 50,000 American employees – a third of the total workforce between GM, Ford and Stellantis – walked off the job and went on strike for six weeks earlier this fall.

We discuss why this massive strike was a long-time coming and how this recent walk-off is a sign of an ever-growing labor activism movement in the U.S.
