The face of the labor movement is changing. It’s becoming younger, more educated, and more female. Though union membership numbers are down as a whole, the number of women in organized labor has increased by 12% in the last 30 years. One national survey also found that young adults view unions more favorably. 
The rise in organizing in the tech industry confirms this. In fact, Al Jazeera America, a digital newsroom, just announced that a majority of their organization has petitioned to join the NewsGuild of New York. The next big decision in the technical era of organizing will be if the National Labor Relations Board approves a proposal by The Century Foundation to allow organizing via a mobile app. It seems inevitable in this day and age. There are a couple organizing attempts happening right now though that seem like a bit of a stretch. The Industrial Workers of the World are attempting to organize panhandlers in Windsor, Ontario; and here in the U.S., one man has just started a campaign to organize Metro riders.
