We’ve released our latest LRI RightNow Second Quarter 2025 Petitions and Elections Review, and it’s full of fresh insights that reveal how the labor relations landscape is evolving in real time.
The “Unexpected Hot Spots” Alert
A national HR team at a professional services firm had their eyes on the usual suspects, California, New York, and Region 19. But when they pulled up the latest LRI RightNow maps to prepare for a quarterly labor strategy session, they saw something they weren’t expecting. Regions like 4, 10, and 32 were heating up fast with strong union win rates and a surprising uptick in RC petition activity. These weren’t the traditional pressure zones.
That data shifted the conversation. Instead of reacting to familiar regions, they launched proactive engagement campaigns in markets they had assumed were “safe.” The early move likely saved them from a public organizing push later in the year.
The “Boardroom Briefing Win”
A VP of Employee Relations at a Fortune 500 healthcare company walked into the boardroom with a surprising stat: healthcare unions had won 87% of elections so far in 2025. That number came straight from the latest LRI RightNow review, and it transformed what would have been a generic compliance update into a strategic discussion about talent risk and cultural alignment across their hospital network.
If you’re looking to elevate your conversations with data that matters, the Q2 report delivers.
