US unions are better off, but still a long way from their former might

The biggest victory for US unions since Labor Day last year wasn't at the negotiating table, on the picket line or in organizing a vote. It was in the 2020 presidential election.
In Joe Biden, organized labor has the most pro-union president since at least Lyndon Johnson, or perhaps ever, depending upon who you ask. And unions are actually more popular now than they've been since their heyday. A survey by Gallup released last week found that 68% of respondents have a positive view of unions — the best reading for that question dating back to 1965, and up from only 48% in 2009. Younger workers are even bigger backers of unions, with 77% of those 34 and younger having a positive view.More Related News
