The strike at Honeo Path has a large impact by allowing more unions to collectively bargain.

Explanation:

Labor unions of South Carolina have pleaded so many demands. The issue of low wages, long hours of work, and other issues like Racial discrimination which hindered the whole growth structure of the laborers. After 22 days of severe strike, employers approved the demands to considerable effect.
