Union-free today, but what about tomorrow?
While the union membership rate stabilized in 2019, unions are using new tactics to pressure employers and encourage employees to unionize. In today’s world, millennials use social media to unofficially organize, forming organizations that don’t take direction from a union but act like one. Millennials want a voice in the workplace and society. Gen Y are activists, just the kind of people the unions want. How can employers adapt to the changing trends of unionization?
