Summary
How the Unionization Trend is Changing Workplace Dynamics | HBR IdeaCast | Podcast 7 Dec 2022 --- For years, union membership has been shrinking in the United States and many other countries. But recently we’ve seen a resurgence, with employees in sectors like retail, hospitality, and media organizing to collectively bargain for better pay, benefits, and job flexibility.

He explains why some fears about them are overblown, how workers form successful ones, and how leaders can partner with these groups to ensure the best outcomes for everyone.
