In the modern era, communication between higher ups and management and union organizers on the ground is lightning fast. Wherein the past strikes were much longer, and would maybe be a whole month of a city of people stopping work until the militia arrived, now they are, as historians say, atomized. Strikes must be done often to effectively communicate to management that the “new” conditions of employment are just as untenable as the last set of conditions. Bargaining happens more quickly than in the past, accelerating strikes and protests frequency.
