Impact of Strikes on National Infrastructure

Strikes by workers in critical infrastructure sectors like transportation, energy, and communications can have severe ripple effects across a nation's economy. A rail strike, for example, could cost the U.S. economy an estimated $2 billion per day by disrupting the flow of goods and raw materials. Power outages caused by striking electricity workers in Nigeria have paralyzed Africa's largest economy. Strikes can also exploit vulnerabilities in infrastructure to magnify their impact, such as when the 9/11 attackers used the aviation system to strike economic and military targets. The interconnected nature of modern infrastructure means strikes in one sector often have cascading consequences for others, making the true costs difficult to predict.
