What Americans think about labor unions and their effects

Labor unions are popular among Americans — especially for occupations such as firefighters, nurses, and construction workers, a new survey finds. Even the most unpopular form of union in the poll — a union of university instructors — is viewed more favorably than unfavorably. While some believe that unions result in more frequent strikes and higher consumer costs, larger shares say that they have positive effects, including increasing worker salaries and giving workers more power and job satisfaction.

15% of Americans are either a union member or share a household with someone who is. 37% personally know someone — including themselves, a family member, friend, or acquaintance — who has gone on strike.
