In this episode of Disunion: The Government Union Report, host David Osborne welcomes Steve Delie, Director of Labor Policy at the Mackinac Center for Public Policy, to discuss the continued decline of union membership in both the private and public sectors. They explore why unionization rates are dropping despite high-profile organizing efforts, the impact of the landmark 2018 Janus decision, and how state-level labor reforms—such as opt-in policies and recertification requirements—are reshaping union influence. Steve shares key insights from data-driven research, highlighting the financial and membership challenges unions face post-Janus and what the future may hold for organized labor.

Tune in for a deep dive into the numbers, policies, and legal battles shaping the public sector labor landscape.
