Fixing American Politics: Electing More Union Members
Researchers reveal how candidates with a union background could heal America's political divide and empower working-class voters.
Union-backed candidates could be the key to reviving American politics, according to a new report from the Center for Working-Class Politics. The study found that politicians with a labor union background are precisely what many Americans want - representatives who understand and advocate for working people.
American politics has become hopelessly polarized, with big money and the wealthy wielding outsized influence. But the CWCP report, co-authored by researchers from Arizona State University, suggests a surprisingly simple solution: elect more union members to office.
The report examined the broad political impact of candidates with a labor union background. These candidates, the researchers found, sound like the people they represent, advocate for working families, and offer practical solutions to fix our broken political system.
