An overwhelming majority of Americans across the political spectrum and age groups support the labor movement and think unions have a positive impact on our society.
According to a new poll conducted by the AFL-CIO,
“Unions are seen as more needed than before, and most believe having more workers in unions would be a boon for society,” said GBAO who conducted the survey. “Compared to the past, twice as many voters say labor unions are more needed (57%) today than less needed (30%).”
“Voters also believe more workers in unions would benefit society at large, with a majority (51%) saying society would be better off compared to just a third (34%) saying it would not be better off.”
But many find unions hard to join. Half of the voters believe it should become easier to form or join a union. They, including supervisors, would join a union if they have the option.
The poll confirms a 2022 survey conducted by Gallup, which finds that 71% of Americans approve of unions, the highest since 1965.
