Embracing the Surge in Labor Organizing

The recent surge in labor organizing is cause for celebration, but also a reminder for workers to continue building durable organizations and maintaining momentum. The current labor market, characterized by the Great Resignation, has created conditions conducive to union organizing. Reflecting on recent union election victories, it is evident that national unions must adapt and embrace necessary risks to capitalize on the current favorable conditions. While there have been notable victories in the past year, it is imperative to recognize that these accomplishments are the result of deliberate efforts and strategic planning, rather than chance or luck.
