Unions

As onshoring gets underway there are opportunities for unions to strengthen their contracts and organizing new companies. This summer the Teamsters negotiated a very favorable arrangement with UPS and the auto workers are now trying to gain some headway. Private union membership, which had been declining for 40 years, increased by 200,000 in 2022. As companies begin building new facilities there will be a need for workers and this opens the door to better contracts. Businesses will be expanding and there is a shortage of workers so this is the time for unions to make hay.
