As 2021 unfolds and the dangers of the pandemic continue to subside, many labor practitioners are expecting to see an increase in union organizing as well as strikes in support of bargaining demands. Of course, a strike is generally an activity that is protected by the National Labor Relations Act. For a union, a strike can be a high‐risk, high‐reward proposition. A successful strike can bring an unprepared employer to its knees. A strike that is not successful causes the union to lose significant leverage at the bargaining table as well employee support.
