In March, when the first wave of COVID-19 cases began to surge across the country and governors imposed strict lockdown orders and restrictions on states, tech workers embarked on a wave of coordinated strikes, walkouts, sickouts, and protests. 

At least 43 of 117 recorded actions led by tech workers since the start of 2020, according to the tech worker-led data project Collective Action in Tech, were related to COVID-19 concerns, such as protective gear, sick days, and hazard pay.
