Across the country, a wave of union momentum is taking hold as working people rise up, walk off the job or threaten to do so for a better deal. Gallup's Labor Day poll showing 68% approval of labor unions — the highest since 1965 — makes it clear that workers want the freedom to negotiate. And among young people, labor union approval surges to 77%.

We know that our communities are safer, healthier and stronger when public service workers – people like our nurses, paramedics, 911 operators, teachers and sanitation workers – have the freedom to join a union and speak up together for their communities. But in 25 states they lack the freedom to negotiate for better pay, benefits and working conditions.
