The Guardian takes a look at this moment in history with Unions see unusually promising moment amid wave of victories…
“You have thousands of people who are standing up at Amazon wanting to be part of this movement,” Appelbaum said. “It relates to how people feel they were treated during the pandemic. Their contributions were not being rewarded sufficiently, and the risks they took were not being recognized sufficiently. Workers felt the callous indifference of too many employers. Plus, workers were concerned about the profiteering that was going on and the exponential explosion of income inequality. That we have such a pro-union president is helpful, too.”
Moreover, workers feel unusually empowered because of the low unemployment rate and record number of job openings.
Is this the time to make big contract gains? If your non-union is this the time to form a union?
