Survey Results Signal a Warning: Don't Underestimate the Current Appeal of Unions

Even paying passing attention to mainstream media, an individual is likely to come away with the impression that labor unions are having their day. Strikes abounded in 2023. Highly publicized organizing is associated with everyday names like Starbucks and Amazon. It can be easy, however, to look at the Detroit automakers, or northern coffeehouses and shipping warehouses, and dismiss the magnitude of current support for unionization. Employers do so at their own peril.
