worker solidarity
Collective employee strength
Worker solidarity is the unity and mutual support among employees who share common interests, particularly regarding wages, working conditions, and fair treatment by employers.
It underpins labor movements and union organizing, based on the principle that workers have more power collectively than individually.
The strike succeeded because of strong worker solidarity across departments.
The concept extends beyond single workplaces to broader class consciousness and cross-industry cooperation.
