The share of Americans who say they disapprove of labor unions hasn’t been this low since September 1967, per new Gallup data.

Why it matters: Unions have seen a resurgence in recent years, with an uptick in strikes and organizing efforts, helped along by more positive public sentiment and, until recently, a strong labor market that emboldens workers to push for more from their employers.

By the numbers: 70% of Americans said they approved of unions, per Gallup’s most recent poll, conducted in August.

• That’s just one point shy of the record hit in 2022 — also a 57-year high.

The big picture: The labor renaissance doesn’t mean a union renaissance. The overall share of workers who are union members is just 10%, a record low.

Zoom out: Unions’ rising popularity helps explain why even Republicans are warming to labor.

• Teamsters president Sean O’Brien got a relatively warm reception at the Republican National Convention last month.
