"The Decline of Union Membership: Trends and Challenges"

Despite a surge in public support and high-profile victories in 2023, the American labor movement has struggled to increase its rank-and-file union membership, which remained stagnant at 10% of the workforce. While union popularity is at its highest since 1965, the number of unionized workers has not seen a significant increase. Experts attribute this to weak labor laws that make it easy for employers and lawmakers to hinder union organizing, as well as barriers faced by public sector employees. The future of union membership growth hinges on potential changes to labor laws and the demand for more unionization opportunities.
