The balance of power between workers and employers, which has been tilted toward employers for nearly a half-century, is beginning to shift, according to two labor scholars.

“In general, strikes grow more common when economic conditions change in ways that empower workers. That’s especially true with the tight labor markets and high inflation seen in the U.S. in recent years.”

Yes, except that "balance of power ... tilted toward employers .. nearly a half-century".

Tilted???

It has strongly favored employers at least since Taft-Hartley (77 years).

"Nearly half-century" seems to be pointing to Reagan era and since, which did make things even worse.
