In recent years, the role of organized labor has diminished considerably. Despite this, labor unions are gaining attention from both the Left and the Right. The year 2026 marks a significant period for labor politics, with various large union contracts set to expire in the U.S.
Later in the summer, several private-sector union contracts are due for renewal. Among these are agreements affecting 20,000 Verizon employees in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, as well as 25,000 steel mill workers in the Midwest.
Earlier in the year, Stop & Shop successfully averted a strike, reaching an agreement with 28,000 food workers in New England. This incident highlights the ongoing negotiations and challenges within the labor sector.
