This is the best summary I could come up with:

“It’s almost like a perfect storm,” said Thomas Kochan, a professor of industrial relations at MIT who attributes this summer’s labor unrest to a “difference in perception between workers and employers.”

In the ongoing Hollywood strikes, for example, actors and screenwriters say they’ve seen their residuals — a form of royalty payment as shows get watched and re-watched — plummet as the industry has transitioned from cable TV to streaming services.

In Michigan, contract negotiations between the United Auto Workers and big Detroit automakers Ford, General Motors and Stellantis began in mid-July and are shaping up to be the most tense in years — with wages and compensation at the heart of talks.

UAW workers produce nearly half of the light vehicles manufactured in the United States, according to GlobalData, so any prolonged strike would pose risks for the wider economy.

He has vowed to claw back pay and benefits that autoworkers lost after the Great Recession, and pledged to fight for greater job security as the industry transitions to electric vehicles.

But the group representing hotels in the negotiations suggests that workers can’t ask for that kind of thing and has filed legal charges against the union, alleging it violated labor law by going on strike over demands that “had nothing to do with our employees.”

I’m a bot and I’m open source!
