workers' solidarity
Collective employee support
Workers' solidarity is the principle that workers share common interests and should support one another against employers or economic systems that exploit them.
The concept is central to labor movements and union organizing: The strike succeeded through workers' solidarity across industries.
It implies that individual workers gain power through collective action rather than competing with each other.
