Labor Unions Lose Popularity to 36 Year Low in Survey
A GE Princeton report shows a long term slide in labor union esteem, with 60 percent approving since 1965 and 34 percent opposing, the lowest since 1936. The survey tracks public attitudes across decades, noting younger voters and students increasingly critical. It cites a 1971 rise in water deliveries and government controls as context for broader views on labor and regulation.
