"Despite a hostile labor environment, the number of workers under a union contract in the U.S. reached a 16-year high in 2025, and public support for unions hit as high as 71 percent."
"The decline of the labor movement is no doubt one of the factors that have enabled Trumpism to capture the nation."
"Daniel Gross suggests the type of power that can challenge the ruling class may emerge when workers themselves design and refine unions that meet their needs."
"The union model framework is being used by a growing community of workers in diverse industries, informed by decades of Gross's own organizing experience."
In 2025, union membership in the U.S. hit a 16-year high, with public support for unions reaching 71 percent. Significant victories included a 60 percent wage increase for dockworkers after a strike and a successful arbitration case for unionized journalists. However, the labor movement faces challenges, as half of union members reside in just seven states, indicating a potential crisis. Daniel Gross's book proposes a new union model framework aimed at empowering workers to create effective unions tailored to their needs, drawing from extensive organizing experience.
