Worker strikes were a significant issue in 2024, with tens of thousands of employees across various sectors, including dockworkers and Boeing machinists, walking off the job in disputes with management. The year saw major strikes at US ports and Boeing, highlighting growing labor tensions and concerns over wages, automation, and benefits.
Worker strikes were a significant issue in 2024. From dockworkers to Starbucks baristas, tens of thousands of employees walked off their jobs in conflict with management. Several of the strikes were more local, not affecting overall operations, but one strike could have caused supply chain issues that would have impacted the holiday season and beyond.
On September 13, 2024, more than 33,000 machinists represented by the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers went on strike following a rejection of 25% wage increase over four years. It was the first work stoppage at Boeing since 2008. The workers sought higher pay increases, and better retirement benefits. The strike led to the suspension of Boeing aircraft modes including the 737, 772, and 767, and their military counterparts.
