Research shows that </span><a href="https://files.epi.org/uploads/278125.pdf"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">more than half of workers without a union would vote for one at their workplace</span></a><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">, meaning that at least 60 million workers would like a union but do not yet have one because of obstacles and weaknesses in the law. </span></p><p><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">Not only are union petitions up, </span><a href="https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/us-union-organizing-unions-election-win-rate-is-surging-nlrb-says-2024-07-17/"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">but the win rate for workers organizing unions is up</span></a><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">, and union membership is on the rise – it has increased by nearly </span><a href="https://www.bls.gov/news.release/pdf/union2.pdf"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">500,000 workers in the last two years</span></a><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;font-size:11.0pt;">.

She recently celebrated an historic first contract reached within a year between BlueBird – a school bus manufacturer – and the United Steelworkers, and she has challenged other companies and unions
