U.S. workers are standing up, speaking out, demanding more from their employers, and turning to unions as the way to make them listen.
U.S. workers and Labor groups filed 57 percent more petitions to be represented by unions in the last six months than they did in the same period last year, Reuters reports.
The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) received 1,174 petitions for union elections during the first half of fiscal year 2022 (Oct. 1 through March 31), compared to 748 during the first half of fiscal 2021.
High-profile organizing campaigns at Starbucks Corp, Amazon and other companies have taken off with workers who labored through the pandemic now demanding more from their employers.
