Building on Labor’s Big Year
Call it a labor renaissance.
The 18,000 UAW members now on strike join hundreds of thousands of workers across industries who have striked in 2023—one of the busiest years for labor in decades.
With labor actions and public support for unions continuing to rise, policymaking must keep pace, Roosevelt’s Alí Bustamante argues.
“The resurgence of the labor movement is not a temporary disruption to be weathered; it’s a clarion call for change to be embraced,” Bustamante writes.
“The labor reforms available are wide-ranging: Policymakers can end at-will employment, support sectoral bargaining, center workers in workforce development, and raise the decision-making power of workers and unions.”
