The purpose of this paper is to highlight the ways in which long running secular trends and the COVID-19 pandemic have combined to re-energize labor movements and pushed political thinking to the left.
Design/methodology/approach
A review of emerging trends in public opinion and labor action to identify some critical tipping points.
Findings
There is a critical shift unfolding in which government intervention to stem income inequality is becoming politically acceptable.
Originality/value
To the best of the author’s knowledge, there have been few, if any comparable discussions of the relationship between the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and the political will to stem income inequality and the implications for corporate behavior.
