'The advantages of union representation for younger workers make reinforcing the labor movement a critical investment in our collective future,' says a new ceprdc analysis.
"The advantages of union representation for younger workers make reinforcing the labor movement a critical investment in our collective future," said CEPR research associate and analysis author Hayley Brown in a statement."It is vital to empower workers by protecting and supporting their unions."
The analysis also highlights that while the Affordable Care Act policy allowing people under 26 to remain on a parent's health insurance plan has made securing coverage easier for many younger people, medical care is still expensive in the United States, and"no such provision exists for retirement." The National Labor Relations Board said in July that from October through the end of June, union representation petitions filings have soared by 58% and unfair labor practice charges have jumped by 16% relative to the same period for the previous fiscal year.
Because of that, Brown applied"standard regression techniques to control for systemic differences between the union and nonunion workforces," and found similar trends. Finally, states also have a role to play in protecting the rights of workers to organize unions and collectively bargain. So-called right-to-work legislation undercuts union funding and has been shown to weaken labor unions and undermine the workers they represent.
