Two- thirds of Americans approve of labor unions; longer term, support for unions has been rising since 2009. Record highs show respondents want unions to have more influence and say their power will grow. While the 67% approval of labor unions today is down slightly from 71% a year ago, it marks the fifth straight year this reading has exceeded its long-term average of 62%. Union approval plunged to an all-time low of 48% in 2009 following the Great Recession; the all-time high of 75% was in the post-World War II heyday of unions in the 1950s, when workers' union membership peaked at 35%. Today, union membership is about 8%. Gallup notes that "today 's striking workers may have a stronger hand in their negotiations than they would have had in the past given today 's elevated public support for unions."

National School Psychology Week During the week of Nov. 6–10, highlight the important work school psychologists and other educators do to help students thrive.
