On Tuesday, it was announced that New Jersey Democratic Senator Cory Booker’s campaign staff had unionized, via card check rather than by way of an election. (A card check occurs when a majority within the bargaining unit sign union authorization forms. This is a quicker and less expensive process in which unionization occurs, compared to an election.)
As many readers are aware, Senator Booker is one of many candidates running for the Democratic nomination for President in 2020. With labor being a sought after constituency among the Democratic candidates, I would suspect Senator Booker will use this unionization by his campaign staff (which he has agreed to recognize) to further his argument that he is the candidate best suited to advocate for unions if elected President. However, with other Democratic campaign staffs having already unionized, whether this news gains Senator Booker much traction remains to be seen.
