Abstract
This report released by the CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies, State of the Unions 2024: A Profile of Organized Labor in New York City, New York State, and the United States, is a part of an annual publication series, documents recent trends in unionization patterns. The CUNY School of Labor and Urban Studies’ latest annual report on unionization patterns shows that private-sector union organizing efforts continued to increase across the country over the last year. The report documents that growth in union election petitions since 2020 has reversed a decade of decline, reaching a level not seen since 2015. Current union election win rates outpace any since 2005. Unions are both petitioning for more representation elections and winning more of those elections, with over three-quarters of all private-sector organizing attempts ending in union victories in 2023-24. Additionally, polls show increasing support for unions among Americans, particularly the young.
