CAMBRIDGE, Mass., June 8, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- A new report published today found American workers are taking actions through union organizing, strikes, and other forms of collective action to address their pent-up demand for achieving a stronger voice and representation at work. But their actions are making clear to the American public the obstacles workers face in forming unions under the election procedures provided in current U.S. labor law. 

Key Points: 
  • The report is the first research product of the Worker Empowerment Research Network (WERN), an interdisciplinary network of labor market researchers.
  • In providing some historical context on unions, the report shows the mostly steady decline in private-sector union activity since the 1970s.
  • The report found that worker centers often craft creative ways of raising standards for workers at the margins of existing labor and employment institutions.
  • "Research shows that many U.S. workers lack the influence and voice that they would like in the workplace," says Kochan.
