Preferred term

income inequality and labor unrest  

Definition(s)

  • Labor unrest defines a broad category of actions taken by workers, especially collectivized as unions, to express their dissatisfaction with employers, including striking and picketing, as well as violent actions like riots and the uprising of the Luddites during the Industrial Revolution. This underlying dissatisfaction can sometimes be encouraged by or correlated with economic inequality, because a significant disparity of wealth between workers and employers implies that the workers have not been proportionately compensated for the wealth they have generated for others.
