Across both public and private sectors, collective bargaining coverage fell from 53% to 40%, and nearly 60% of surveyed workers have never joined a union. While private sector declines are expected, public sector membership is also shrinking. Union members are aging, but now include more women and highly educated workers. Surprisingly, most workers—whether current or former members—still back unions, and many non-union workers say they’d vote yes if given the chance. The future hinges on union organizing and supportive policies, with young people remaining a key, hopeful demographic. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
