 Aug. 28, 2024 | UNIONS | A strong majority of Americans continue to view labor unions in a positive light, according to a new Gallup survey released Wednesday. Seventy percent of respondents said they hold a favorable view of unions, up slightly from 67% in 2023. Only 23% said they disapprove of unions. This year’s approval rating marks the second-highest in nearly 60 years, topped only by 71% in 2022. Union favorability has risen and remained elevated after dropping around the time of the Great Recession in the late 2000s. Their growing popularity has come with an increase in union election petitions, with more employees trying to organize their workplaces. Huffington Post
