These three charts on UnionsWork.us show how strong unions create an economy that works for all of us.

Over the past few decades, union membership has declined, contributing to increased income inequality. When we take away Americans’ freedom to form a union and negotiate with their employers, we are stacking the deck in favor of big corporations and the 1%.

Strong unions fight against inequality and help every American get a fair shot at success.
