New Data Reveals Broad Support Across the Political Spectrum for Unions and Workers’ Right to Organize
March 5, 2025
“Consistently, our polling finds that voters support unionization efforts and think that a union will provide better benefits, wages, and labor protections,” said Danielle Deiseroth, Executive Director of Data for Progress. “Project labor agreements and union neutrality agreements have strong support across party lines, and are important tools to ensure that workers can make their voices heard in the workplace, including in the clean energy industry.”
“It is clear that the American people understand the immense power of collective bargaining, and they prefer businesses who don’t trample on the rights of working people to organize into unions,” said BlueGreen Alliance Executive Director Jason Walsh. “Businesses benefit from empowering workers. Communities know that unions are more likely to secure higher wages for workers, especially those without college degrees, who come from low-income communities, and who identify as a person of color. People know their rights and their value in the workplace, and they prefer companies who respect that.”
