    “2025 has been a bad year for labor unions.”

    In this month’s Labor Pulse, Jim Castagnera reflects on the challenges the U.S. labor movement has faced in 2025, a year of political and structural difficulties in which “[c]ombined private and public sector membership dipped below 10 percent for the first time in living memory.”

    And as remarkable as the Trump administration’s policy changes impacting federal sector unionism my seem, Jim observes, they “pale in comparison to the attacks upon the National Labor Relations Act… attacks originating from both the right and the left.”

    To learn more about these developments, enjoy Jim’s latest Labor Pulse article, “2025: Strange Days and Hard Times for Organized Labor.”
