Summary.
Interest among the American workforce in unions has increased significantly in the past five years. Our own survey of more than 2,500 frontline U.S. workers finds that younger respondents (ages 30 and under) are especially open to unionization. In fact, this group has already put their views into action. Nearly all union growth in 2023 (229,000 new members) came from workers under the age of 45.
