What’s Inside the Report?

The Full Picture

Want the numbers? We’ve got them—all of them. This year’s report digs into the details of NLRB filings across the board:

  • Representation (RC) petitions and elections
  • Decertification (RD) petitions and elections
  • Employer-filed (RM) petitions and elections

Here’s the highlight reel:

  • Representation elections shot up by 10%, with unions winning 78.4% and organizing over 107,000 workers.
  • Decertification elections dipped by 3%, but unions still lost 69.9% of those cases, impacting 4,456 workers.
  • And here’s the kicker: Employer-filed petitions surged by 192%, signaling a seismic shift in how businesses are responding to union activity.

  • Union activity rankings: Spoiler alert—the Teamsters were a force, leading 417 elections and winning 312 of them.
  • Unit size breakdowns: Bigger is better (for unions, at least). Units of 500+ employees saw unions win 94% of elections.
