More in U.S. See Unions Strengthening

[RandySF]

“Labor unions continue to enjoy high support in the U.S., with 67% of Americans approving of them, similar to the elevated level seen in recent years after more than a decade of rising support.”

“Mirroring this trend, Americans have gradually become more likely than a decade ago to want unions’ influence to strengthen and to believe unions benefit various aspects of business and the economy.”

3. Many jobs threaten you with termination if they hear union talk.

When I worked fast food, we were having a discussion about forming one and the boss got wind of it and threatened to fire us if he heard such talk again.

4. It's very difficult to organize a union out of thin air.
