Workers ‘Are Voting To Join Unions At Record High Rates’

Emily Peck at Axios reports on analysis of National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) data that has been released by the Center for American Progress which shows Workers are voting to join Unions at the highest rate in 15 years.  Peck also reports it's a reflection of increased grassroots momentum behind organizing - helped along by a strongly Pro-Worker NLRB under Biden appointee Jennifer Abruzzo.  Workers voted in favor of a Union 74% of the time this year (through April) - a jump from 2019 when it was 69%.  In 2023, there were 1,777 Union Elections - the highest number since 2010, when there were 1,942.  The NLRB has streamlined the rules around Union Elections - cutting the time between petition and voting.
