Strikes this year

This is likely the fourth largest strike by number of workers affected in the U.S. this year. The Bureau of Labor Statistics says that, as of Aug. 31, there had been three larger in 2023: Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists has approximately 160,000 workers on strike since July 13; the Service Employees International Union's strike against the Los Angeles Unified School District from March 21-23 affected 65,000 employees, and 20,000 UNITE HERE members are on strike against Los Angeles and Orange County hotels.
