Unions Gain Ground, But Optimism Falters | US News

from US News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Union support in America is surging to a 25-year high, with 47% now backing greater union influence — up from just 25% a few years ago. Approval of unions stands at 71%, its highest in six years. The shift is overwhelmingly driven by Democrats (73% favor more power), while Republicans remain firmly opposed (49% want less). Yet optimism about unions actually growing has plummeted, especially among Democrats — only 31% now believe unions will gain strength, down 16 points from last year. A new poll of over 1,200 adults reveals a nation deeply divided on the future of organized labor. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
