The COVID-19 pandemic has painfully highlighted how small of a voice many American workers have in their workplaces. Essential employees, such as grocery store workers and garbage collectors have been forced to do their jobs without necessary safety measures that they’ve demanded.

The increased spotlight on theses issues has sparked inspiration for new fights for worker power.
