Union Growth Driven by State Policy | Anchorage News

Published 2 weeks, 3 days ago
Description

Union membership in the U.S. surged last year to its highest level since 2008, with over 411,000 new members—driven by state policies that support collective bargaining, not right-to-work laws. Workers in pro-union states earn more on average, even after adjusting for cost of living, while political and legal hurdles at the federal level remain uncertain. Public backing for unions is growing across the political spectrum as a response to rising living costs, despite some think tanks questioning union wage impacts and warning of potential job growth trade-offs.
