Labor unions have played an essential role in shaping the American workplace, from securing the 40-hour workweek to fighting for better pay and workers' rights. Here's the history of unions, their challenges, and their resurgence in the age of social justice and workplace equity.
With the emergence of the 'union boom' happening in 2023 with strikes, negotiations, and organizing efforts across various industries, all have attempted to address the challenges that unions continue to face over the years, from corporate and political opposition to struggles with inclusivity.
People like Sara and David are helping to lead the charge, pushing for conditions that don't only benefit workers in specific fields, but that make waves across industries. David Madland, Senior Adviser at the American Worker Project, shares his insights into how unions impact the American economy. Sara Nelson, International President of the Association of Flight Attendants-CWA, AFL–CIO, discusses her pivotal role in improving wages and working conditions in the aviation industry.
Additionally, the Protecting the Right to Organize (PRO) Act, has become a a potential game-changer for workers' rights, which could ultimately lead to unprecedented union growth. Is the modern labor movement simply continuing the work of its forebears, or is it innovating collective bargaining for a new era? The stakes have never been higher.
