科尚和同事們?cè)?017年向近4000名員工調(diào)查有關(guān)加入工會(huì)的問題。
The results: Almost 2 out of 3 said they had less of a voice than they felt they deserved,

and nearly half said they'd like the opportunity to join a union.

"That doesn't mean they want an actual union in the traditional sense," Kochan says.
科尚說：“這并不意味著他們想要傳統(tǒng)意義上工會(huì)組織，
"It's more of an expression that they're looking for some form of voice, a desire for real influence."

Historically, only unions could provide the cohesiveness and leverage workers needed to speak as a group.
