Labor leaders demand federal help to unionize more businesses: ‘The game is rigged’ -
They leveled that charge at a Senate Health, Education and Labor Committee hearing, blaming the ever-shrinking union membership on the lack of federal muscle to combat union holdouts such as Starbucks and Walmart.
The longtime decline of private sector unions has continued even as union organizers make some headway in the retail, service and technology industries. The National Labor Relations Board, which is tasked with overseeing and meditating labor disputes, saw a 53% jump in new union petitions last year compared to 2021.
Organized labor cites the ability of big corporations to hire consultants and strategists to undercut unionization drives. They also accused companies of illegally firing or harassing employees who are trying to unionize. Mrs. Shuler further argued that companies benefited from backlogs and delays caused by staffing issues at the National Labor Relations Board. To shift the balance of power to unions, labor leaders and congressional Democrats are pushing the PRO Act.

Biden's clean energy factory jobs may elude U.S. union workersPresident Joe Biden has pledged that fighting climate change will deliver millions of middle-class jobs with good wages to Americans with union membership cards. But in the six months since passage of Biden's signature climate change law, a large majority of the $50 billion of announced investments in domestic manufacturing to support the clean energy transition has been in states with laws that make it harder for workers to unionize, according to a Reuters analysis of corporate and state announcements. Biden's Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) includes tax credits for businesses that produce clean energy components in the United States, and provides higher credits for developers of renewable energy projects if they use products made domestically.
