The National Labor Relations Board announced this week that the number of petitions filed by workers for union representation has significantly increased during President Biden’s administration. The number of union petitions doubled from 2021 to 2023, from 1,638 petitions in 2021 to 3,286 petitions in 2023. The last president who experienced a rise in petitions for union representation during his term was President Ford. President Biden stated that the increase in petitions showcases his efforts to help American workers. He also stated that when unions are successful workers are successful and the overall economy improves. The number of unfair labor practice claims filed by unionized workers has also increased in recent years, and the National Labor Relations Board received 24,578 claims last year.
