Strikes Threaten US Economy


Unprecedented Labor Movement Sweeps the US: A Look at the Potential Impact. The labor movement in the United States is experiencing an unusually active period, with the potential for up to four high-profile strikes. Unlike recent years, different unions have coordinated efforts, creating a powerful force that demands attention. From Hollywood's Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) and Writers Guild of America (WGA) strikes to negotiations between the Big Three automakers and the United Auto Workers union (UAW), this blog explores the far-reaching implications of these labor actions on the nation's economy and daily lives.

The SAG-AFTRA strike, which followed the WGA strike in May, has significantly impacted the American film and television industry, resulting in near-total production halts. While this unrest has captured media attention, its immediate effects on the general public have been limited. However, the situation could drastically change if two other major unions join the movement.
