After being on the decline for decades, unions are making a comeback in the context of rising economic inequality, declining working standards, pent-up demand for a greater voice at work, and the growing pressures caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Workers in the United States have long faced a tilted playing field when trying to organize—despite the important economic and societal benefits unions offer. How should different stakeholders, including business leaders and investors, think about and react to union formations? This panel discussion brings together the perspectives of multiple stakeholders, including unionizing workers, labor organizers, businesses leaders, and investors.
