Revisiting the Mathematics of Strike Mandates

Original: Fixed Points and Strike Mandates (2012)

A 2012 essay on fixed points and strike mandates is drawing fresh attention. The piece examines how strike votes can be understood through the mathematical concept of fixed points, exploring when a union's mandate to strike becomes stable or self-reinforcing during labour disputes. Readers are debating the application of formal mathematical reasoning to collective bargaining and union democracy, more than a decade after the essay was first published.

Why now: The essay has resurfaced amid ongoing public interest in strikes and labour organising.
