Despite the relentless attacks on unions, union membership rose last year, including in the federal sector.
According to a new report by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 16.5 million workers in the United States were represented by a union last year—an increase of 463,000 from 2024 and the highest number of unionized workers in 16 years.
“The message is loud and clear,” said National President Doreen Greenwald. “Americans support unions, and their right to unionize and engage in collective bargaining.”
Despite constant union-busting executive orders, union membership among federal employees grew more than 31 percent. This is the largest single-year increase since 2011, as federal employees resist efforts to illegally strip their collective bargaining rights.
