Union membership in the US is at an all-time low (10%) while support for unions is near an all-time high (70%).

While many of us may not have access to a union due to industry or location, we can all do things to support unions - most notably by backing them in their efforts and boycotting companies who are notoriously anti-union until they change their ways.
