NEW ANALYSIS: This is my annual roundup of labor data on union membership, elections and strikes. How is the U.S. labor movement doing in the Trump 2.0 era? #UnionYes

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee is supporting workers in organizing and taking action on the shop floor even when an NLRB election isn’t yet on the table.

This kind of “premajority unionism” may be key to reversing labor’s decline.https://t.co/sXWk7isMzV

[Jacobin @jacobin]

Despite an uptick in successful National Labor Relations Board elections in recent years, unions have still not been able to organize workers at the necessary speed.

Strategies to organize workplaces outside the NLRA framework may provide a way forward: https://t.co/PhQyHpaPHl

[Eric Dirnbach ⁉️ @EricDirnbach]

The US labor movement is not organizing nearly enough workers to grow, and other strategies are needed, I argue here.

[Eric Dirnbach ⁉️ @EricDirnbach]

NEW analysis. I reviewed U.S. union election wins during the recent federal fiscal year. What are recent labor movement trends and how has the Trump regime impacted union organizing?

My latest review of a great book. #UnionYes
"Every few years a book comes out that tries to explain what’s happening in the labor movement...Dave Kamper’s new book, Who’s Got the Power: The Resurgence of American Unions, does the job."
