Was it card check? Being given two auto companies? The proposed pension bailout in the health care bill? The lobbying (and violence) for health care nationalization? You can take your pick, but it seems that people have been paying attention to the antics of the labor unions.
Public approval of labor unions has hit an all-time low at 48%, and public disapproval has hit an all-time high at 45%. With the 4% margin of error, public opinion on labor unions is at parity for the first time since Gallup starting measuring it in 1936.
The results on more specific questions show that labor unions are fortunate to be viewed as well as they are. By a 51-39 margin, the public believes that labor unions hurt the economy. By a 62-29 margin, they believe that labor unions hurt non-union workers. By a 46-45 margin they believe that labor unions hurt unionized companies.
