June 25, 2024 | U.S. UNIONS | Workers are voting to join unions at the highest rate in 15 years, finds an analysis from the progressive Center for American Progress. It's a reflection of increased grassroots momentum behind organizing — helped along by a strongly pro-worker National Labor Relations Board, 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%. The NLRB has streamlined the rules around union elections — cutting the time between petition and voting. Axios
