Corporations Face Wave of Unionization Efforts

Jennifer appeared on Bloomberg Quicktake with Manhattan Institute Senior Fellow Allison Schrager.

Author of "The Burnout Epidemic: The Rise of Chronic Stress and How We Can Fix It" Jennifer Moss discusses the wave of employee efforts to unionize at big companies like Amazon, Apple and Starbucks. They break down what workers are demanding and how the labor market's current status plays a role in the battle for greater worker rights.

They talk about how the current economy affects workers' desire to form unions, or their reluctance to participate in a union. Jennifer talks about workers’ desire to have psychological safety protected after facing their mortality and mental health challenges during the pandemic. They also discuss how large unions are becoming less popular, and that smaller, employee-led unions are emerging.

Jennifer also talks about how organizations need to focus more on mental health, and that they need to listen to their employees with more empathy to determine what people really need from their employers.
