Join the Labor Movement: The Most Exciting Moment in Decades.

TL;DR Summary
The US labor movement is experiencing a surge in activity, with unions like the UAW and Teamsters preparing to negotiate their largest contracts and vowing to strike if necessary. Both unions are also prioritizing new organizing in workplaces where a lack of unions not only means low wages for those workers but also poses an existential threat for their unionized counterparts. However, new organizing in the almost entirely nonunion private sector faces the obstacle of retaliatory firings and employers’ refusal to bargain. Additionally, conservatives are engaged in a campaign that uses bigotry to accelerate the decimation of public sector unions.
