Americans favor labor unions over big business now more than ever, analysis of new data @epi.org from me & Adam Reich of Columbia Labor Lab.
In data back 60 years, Americans' sentiments are both warmer toward unions & cooler towards big business than ever before.

Top executives from PBS and NPR are getting ready for a hearing on Wednesday — ominously titled “Anti-American Airwaves” — organized by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene who leads a House subcommittee tied to Elon Musk’s efforts to cut federal spending.

The following is a statement from Writers Guild of America East, AFL-CIO (WGAE), Executive Director Sam Wheeler:
![Last night President Trump issued an unlawful Executive Order purporting to strip nearly two-thirds of the federal workforce of their collective bargaining rights. This illegal attack on roughly 700,000 federal workers and their unions is an assault on the entire labor movement and all American workers.
It's not surprising that the billionaires in the Trump Administration hate unions. Unions are a bulwark against tyranny, both in the
workplace and in civil society.
Right now, federal union members are defending the American people from Elon Musk's reckless and unconstitutional dismantling of the federal government.
