Union approval hits highest point since 1965

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

It’s been nearly 60 years since approval for unions in the U.S. has been this high.

More than 70% of Americans now approve of labor unions. Those are the findings of a Gallup poll released this morning, and they shouldn’t be surprising.

Why? U.S. workers see unions as critical to fixing our nation’s broken workplace—where most workers have little power or agency at work.

The pandemic revealed much about work in this country. We saw countless examples of workers performing essential jobs—such as health care and food service. They were forced to work without appropriate health and safety gear and certainly without pay commensurate with the critical nature of the work they were doing.

2. Raygun was the death nell for unions.

I hope he is rotting in Hell for all the permanent damage he did to this country. He is also as bad as Nixon....maybe worse.

3. I have been a proud union supporter, member, and officer for over 50 years.

I'm glad to see the public support!
