Just over 14 million workers belonged to a union in 2021.
Days after workers voted to unionize at an Amazon warehouse in New York City, new federal data show more people want votes on the formation of unions at their own workplaces.
The number of petitions for union representation jumped 57% in the first half of fiscal 2022 compared with the first half of the 2021 fiscal year, the National Labor Relations Board said Wednesday. If recent votes to unionize at certain Starbucks locations and the Amazon fulfillment center on Staten Island in New York are high-profile anecdotal evidence of an upswing for unions, the new NLRB numbers show those votes may not be anomalies.
“Workers are feeling like they have more bargaining power,” said Fine. “The history of unions has been, in many historical periods, [that] they organize when the economy is good, not when it’s bad, not when [their] backs are against the wall and they feel they have no bargaining power.” Congress has been giving the agency the same $274.2 million for nine years, with no adjustment for inflation and even as NLRB staffing shrinks, the agency said. But President Joe Biden makes his support of unions clear, including telling a North America’s Building Trades Unions, or NABTU, conference on Wednesday that a decision on whether to unionize should be workers’ alone, referencing with apparent satisfaction the outcome of the recent Amazon vote on Staten Island.
