As the 2024 presidential election approaches, both Democratic nominee Kamala Harris and Republican nominee Donald Trump are vying for the support of union voters, a critical demographic in swing states like Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Nevada. Recent polls indicate that union voters are now split between the candidates, a shift from the previous election where Joe Biden had a clear advantage. Union membership, currently at about 10% of the workforce, is experiencing a resurgence in public approval, with Gallup reporting that 70% of Americans support unions, the highest since the mid-1960s. Despite declining membership numbers, unions are becoming increasingly influential in politics, evidenced by their prominent roles at national conventions. Both parties recognize the importance of organized labor as a significant voting bloc, particularly in battleground states that could decide the election outcome. The labor movement's evolving dynamics suggest a potential turning point in its influence on U.S. politics and public opinion towards labor rights.
