US union organizing, and unions' election win rate, is surging, NLRB says
Thursday, 18 July 2024
Recent data from the National Labor Relations Board reveals a surge in union election petitions, with over 2,600 filed this fiscal year, exceeding the previous year's total. Unions have seen a 32% increase in petitions, winning 79% of elections they pursued, up from 76% last year. Despite these gains, union representation among US workers remains historically low. Experts attribute the rise in organizing efforts to pandemic concerns and regulatory shifts favoring unions under the Biden administration.
