The Labor Research and Action Network 2026 Conference Call for Proposals! lranetwork.org/news/lran-2026…

The Emergency Workplace Organizing Committee is supporting workers in organizing and taking action on the shop floor even when an NLRB election isn’t yet on the table. This kind of “premajority unionism” may be key to reversing labor’s decline.jacobin.com/2026/03/organi…

Despite an uptick in successful National Labor Relations Board elections in recent years, unions have still not been able to organize workers at the necessary speed. Strategies to organize workplaces outside the NLRA framework may provide a way forward: jacobin.com/2026/03/organi…

The US labor movement is not organizing nearly enough workers to grow, and other strategies are needed, I argue here.

NEW analysis. I reviewed U.S. union election wins during the recent federal fiscal year. What are recent labor movement trends and how has the Trump regime impacted union organizing? #UnionYes #UnionStrong ericdirnbach.medium.com/union-election…

I had a great time interviewing Dave Kamper about his new book, Who’s Got the Power: The Resurgence of American Unions! #UnionYes #LaborHistory podbean.com/ea/pb-4f93w-19…

My latest review of a great book. #UnionYes "Every few years a book comes out that tries to explain what’s happening in the labor movement...Dave Kamper’s new book, Who’s Got the Power: The Resurgence of American Unions, does the job." labornotes.org/blogs/2025/12/…

The 2026 Labor Research & Action Network Conference will be in Atlanta, GA, May 14-15 in conjunction with the Jobs with Justice Conference. The WEB DuBois Southern Center for Studies in Public Policy at Clark Atlanta University will co-host #UnionYes @jwjnational
