The president of the AFL-CIO asserted that unions are “on the rise” and touted new polling data in her first address ahead of Labor Day.
AFL-CIO President Liz Shuler delivered the remarks in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday and heralded recent unionization wins, calling the event “a new Labor Day tradition." The speech emphasized U.S. support for unions and predicted growth in the coming years for the labor movement.
“So, the state of the unions? The state of the unions is on the rise,” Shuler added to applause from the crowd. A key emphasis in the address was how the research found that 88% of people under the age of 30 view unions in a favorable light, something she said bodes well for the future growth of organized labor.
The AFL-CIO president spoke about recent “historic” union victories, including fresh new contracts for UPS employees. After a period of tense negotiations, and with the threat of a strike looming, the Teamsters union and UPS reached an agreement on a contract package that boosted wages in addition to other changes.She also mentioned the unionization wave sweeping Starbucks across the country.
