I'm Aisha Roscoe and this is a Sunday story.

No Bucks, no truck.

This year workers have been asserting their power in big ways.

I say hey, I say hey,

corporate greed has got to go.

We're go, holly, lolly,

massive labor strikes have rocked Hollywood, the auto industry, and major care institutions.

There have also been smaller strikes at hotels, hospitals, schools, and threatened strikes by airline pilots and UPS drivers.

What do we want?

We want it.

Now!

It's all a sign that many workers are fed up.

Some of it's about money, but that's not all that's going on.

That's what's been about from day one is getting a fair agreement for our membership.

We don't want to be our own strike but we're going to do whatever do what we got to do to get it.

So let's get it done. Stand up everybody.

There it is.

Joining us to talk about this year of the union and what's been driving all this discontent are NPR's Labor and Workplace

Correspondent Andrea Shoe and NPR Culture Correspondent Mandelit Dale Barko

And so it's not just my imagination.

Andrea, like, there were a lot of strikes this year, right?
