From Power at Work: Predicting the 2024 Election and Labor’s Votes: Results from the Quarterly Power At Work Labor Issues Survey (Q3 2024) – Part 1
Thanks to Jeff Wiggins for sending us this.
By SETH HARRIS and ZINO MINOTTI
Power At Work asked labor insiders and knowledgeable outsiders to predict how union members would vote in the 2024 elections and the outcomes of those elections. They told us, and some of their answers delivered real surprises. Our respondents showed a shocking level of enthusiasm for Vice President Kamala Harris’s young campaign for president, and for the idea that union members would support Harris when casting their votes. These labor insiders and knowledgeable outsiders showed a little more equanimity when assessing this year’s congressional and gubernatorial elections.
Power At Work also asked our labor insiders and knowledgeable outsiders to rank a long list of labor-related events that have happened so far this year based on whether they increased or decreased worker power. We will discuss these responses in Part 2 of this post next week. Part 1 -- this post -- focused on survey respondents’ views of the 2024 election. Read to the end to learn more about our respondents.
