Imagine if one-in-three private-sector workers belonged to a union.

What would wages, benefits, and working conditions look like if more workers had access to a union contract and the labor movement gained strength to beat back billionaires and big corporations? What would it mean for our economy and democracy? And what policy changes are necessary to enable more workers who wish they had a union to get one?

Director of Policy/General Counsel Celine McNicholas joins Deputy Director of EARN and Director of the State Worker Power Initiative Jennifer Sherer to chart the course, while Senior Economist Ben Zipperer breaks down the numbers, in conversation with Executive Vice President Naomi Walker.
