Labor Group Warns of Declining Union Density in Public Sector
What happened
The Confederation for Unity, Recognition and Advancement of Government Employees warned that the decline in government workers’ unions could worsen as opportunities for collective advocacy narrow. The group cited labor-only contracting, red-tagging, and government policies as major reasons for the declining union density in the public sector. The Civil Service Commission reported 2,156 registered employee organizations nationwide, with 74 new registrations in 2025.
