2025年美国工会会员数量实现显著增长，新增411000名成员，创自2008年以来的最大增幅1。全美共有1650万工人由工会代表，占工资工人总数的11.2%，达到16年来的新高1。
增长的地理分布存在显著差异。集体谈判保护州的工会新增305000名成员，远超右工作法州的107000人增长1。从整体规模看，集体谈判保护州拥有1090万工会成员（占7690万工人），而右工作法州则有370万工会成员（占6970万工人）1。这一增长差异进一步加剧了两类州间的工资差距——从2015年的3.2%扩大至2025年的6.7%，相当于中位数全职工人的年收入差距达4000美元1。
工会会员普遍获得薪资优势。工会成员的工资平均比非工会工人高8%1。然而，2019年至2025年间集体谈判保护州的工资增长仍然慢于右工作法州3个百分点1。与此同时，企业高管的薪酬差距继续扩大，CEO平均薪酬是中位数工人的312倍，CEO年均薪资涨幅达21%1。
公众对工会的支持度持续上升。美国公众对工会的认可度达到71%，其中47%希望工会的影响力进一步扩大1。52%的美国公众表示信任工会，这一比例分别高于信任民主党的32%和信任共和党的26%1。年轻劳动力中对工会的兴趣尤其浓厚，57%未入工会的年轻工人表示如果有选择的话愿意加入工会1。
2025年，美国有19个州通过了88部扩展工人权利的法律，包括带薪病假、仓库工人保护和禁止非竞业协议等内容1。
American labor unions added 411,000 members in 2025, marking the largest increase since 2008.1 The growth was heavily concentrated in states with collective bargaining protections, which accounted for 305,000 new members, while right-to-work states contributed 107,000 new members.1 Collectively, unions now represent 16.5 million American workers, or 11.2 percent of all wage earners—the highest share in 16 years.1
The regional disparity in union strength reflects broader wage inequality between the two types of states. States with collective bargaining protections now have 10.9 million union members out of 76.9 million workers, compared to 3.7 million members in right-to-work states' workforce of 69.7 million.1 Union members earn an average of 8 percent more than their nonunion counterparts.1 The wage gap between workers in bargaining-protection states and those in right-to-work states has widened from 3.2 percent in 2015 to 6.7 percent in 2025—equivalent to roughly $4,000 less annual income for median full-time workers in right-to-work states.1 Despite these advantages, wage growth in collective bargaining protection states lagged by 3 percent between 2019 and 2025.1
Public support for unions remains substantial, with 71 percent of Americans viewing unions favorably, and 47 percent wanting unions to have greater influence.1 Among young workers not currently in unions, 57 percent said they would join if given the choice.1 Meanwhile, 19 states passed 88 laws in 2025 to expand worker protections, including paid sick leave, warehouse worker safeguards, and restrictions on non-compete agreements.1
