Nice to see the @laboraction.bsky.social featured! Our excellent researchers continue to document all strikes and many labor protests, regardless of whether they meet certain size or other criteria, to help amplify collective worker action.

Excited about this new article with @hodderandy.bsky.social documenting the role of different types of protests, including labor strikes, by workers in the Twin Cities organizing against ICE militarization earlier this year. It’s the rare timely academic read!

A thread on this nerdy data question: Why did the BLS report more workers on strike in 2025 than the @laboraction.bsky.social, despite the Labor Action Tracker documenting strikes of all sizes and the BLS only documenting those involving 1,000+ workers?

Johnnie Kallas @johnniekallas.bsky.social · 20/02/2026

Will have a bit of a nerdy data point later today about the BLS annual work stoppage report documenting more workers on strike than the @laboraction.bsky.social in 2025, despite only looking at a fraction of total strikes.

Largest strike in September: At Boeing, IAM District 837 (≈ 3,200 workers) struck over: 📍pay and pension fairness 📍health care costs 📍respect on the job The walkout shut down key production lines and drew national attention to the power of aerospace labor.

It is with immense sadness that we acknowledge that The China Labor Bulletin (CLB) is shutting down. Founded by Han Dongfang, a pro-democracy activist, the CLB tracked factory closures and worker protests in China against great odds. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/12/b...

As the @nuhw.org ⁦‪strikes in California near six months, eight workers have chosen to take a stand. These workers have began a five-day hunger strike to symbolize the sacrifice of striking employees, and to continue drawing attention to their demands.

Mental health workers go on hunger strike, demanding better pay and benefits

After months of striking, some therapists with Kaiser Permanente stopped eating for five days to bring attention to their union's demands for parity with how the company's other workers are treated.
