July 26, 2022 | Ford Harrison Filed Under: Union Organizing

April 11, 2022 | Jones Walker Filed Under: Union Organizing

In the first quarter of 2022, unions filed over 550 election petitions in the United States, compared with only 290 in the first quarter of 2021.

While part of the increase can be attributed to the SEIU (Service Employee International Union), which has filed dozens of petitions at Starbucks facilities throughout the United States, many believe that pandemic-induced labor market issues and the rise of worker autonomy have created an opportunity for organized labor.
