A few days ago, the Writers Guild of America finally reached a tentative agreement with Hollywood executives after a five-month strike. They writers took on the studios, which now include some of the biggest tech companies on the planet, and won major concessions.

Meanwhile, the president of the United States just walked an autoworkers’ picket line in my home state of Michigan. His main rival, former president Donald Trump, hasn’t talked to the United Auto Workers (UAW) — but only because the UAW told him to stay away. (He spoke at a nonunion plant near some striking workers and hoped no one would see the difference.) Both Biden and Trump are clearly reading the polls showing that a supermajority of Americans support the UAW’s strike against the Big Three automakers, and responding accordingly.

Even Manhattan Institute fellow Allison Schrager admits that the “labor movement is having a moment.” That can’t be an easy thing for a fellow at a right-wing think tank to concede. But not to worry; the world hasn’t turned upside down. Now that the Right is forced to reckon with the surge in labor movement activity, it’s only expressing its typical antiunion sentiment in a more subtle way.
