Report: Unions Surge as Administration Takes Aim at Labor Watchdog
Posted On: Mar 17, 2025
Mar. 17, 2025 | LABOR UNIONS | Since 2021, union elections in Maryland and across the country have more than doubled - and union election wins are at a 15-year high.

A federal judge ruled earlier this month that Wilcox must be reinstated at the NLRB, but Trump administration attorneys appealed the decision. "Public solidarity helps support unions, when they're trying to win a union contract or when their employer violates labor law," said Poydock. "So public support is key in the mix of union organizing right now." Public News Service
