It seems that the pandemic has created a de-facto mass decentralized union of low-skilled workers. I believe that before the pandemic, most low-skilled workers felt that their working conditions were unfair but they didn't have the means to protest. The pandemic sent everyone home and gave everyone the opportunity to quit at the same time (via unemployment benefits and stimulus checks). Now these workers are collectively yet passively bargaining for their rights. Social media has given them a tool to relate their experiences to each other, which empowers everyone. But since it's not a real union, time will show if they lose their power once unemployment benefits are cut. Alternatively, if people truly hate their jobs, companies may be forced to raise wages to convince people to come back to work.
