Louis Cannon was quoted in the Bloomberg Law article, “Unionizing Set to Fall Due to Economic, Political Headwinds,” published on February 2, 2026. The article examines new data showing a decline in union elections and organizing wins in 2025 and explores how economic uncertainty, a cooling labor market, and shifting political dynamics are reshaping the landscape for union activity.

Uncertain economic conditions driven by a softening US labor market and falling consumer sentiment played a role in the organizing decline, said Louis Cannon, a partner at Mitchell Silberberg & Knupp. He noted that public approval for unions plummeted during the 2008 financial crisis.
“There was a whole lot of uncertainty this year,” he said. “I think that could make people less likely to want to unionize.”
