Statistic of the Day
Earlier this year, a survey of 1,682 adults by Peter D. Hart Research found that the majority of Americans would vote to join a union if they were free to do so without intimidation from their employer. Among nonunion workers, 53 percent reported they'd vote to join a union.
That is the highest level of support for unions since the poll began asking the question more than 20 years ago. In 1984, only 30 percent answered in the affirmative.
