The LRI RightNow Q1 2025 Petitions And Elections Review Is Here— And Oh Yeah, There’s a New Sheriff in Town

by Michael VanDervort

2025 isn’t just another year of union drama. With President Trump back in the saddle, the NLRB is about to get a serious attitude adjustment — and spoiler alert: it’s not going to be as union-friendly as it was during the Biden administration.

The LRI RightNow Q1 2025 Petitions and Elections Review just dropped, and trust us, it’s your cheat code for surviving the wild ride ahead.

What’s Inside the Report?

Think of it as your field guide to the last gasp of Biden-era organizing momentum before the new sheriffs start changing the rules.

The Rundown:

RC (Representation) elections declined by 4% compared to 2024, but unions still secured 78.1% of the wins.
RD (Decertification) elections declined by 8%, with unions losing a significant 58.8% of those fights.
RM (Employer-filed) elections fell off a cliff — down 56% — but unions still snagged 65.2% of the ones that went forward.
Workers Organized: 22,774 new union members in Q1. (Maybe don’t get too comfy, guys.)

Where the Action Was (Before the Reset Button Gets Pushed):

California kept it weird and busy: 60 RC elections.
Region 19 (Seattle and friends) was a union lovefest with a 90% win rate.
Oregon was a union fantasyland, boasting a 96% win rate.
Big Units, Big Trouble: In shops with 500 or more employees, unions have a 100% win rate on decertification defenses. That's... going to be noticed.

Visuals That Actually Respect Your Eyeballs
No blinding walls of text. Just clean, simple charts that hit you with the info you need before you even finish your coffee.

Deep Dives You’ll Want for the Next Chapter:

Union Scoreboard: Teamsters are still flexing, leading 63 RC elections with a 63% win rate.
Industry Trends:
- Utilities = 💯 (literally 100% union win rate in RC elections)
- Healthcare stayed a union fortress (88%).
- Wholesale Trade? Meh. 58% win rate — better luck next quarter.
Unit Size Sweet Spot: 11–25 workers = unions won 82% of those elections.

Why You Need This Report Before the NLRB Flips the Script:
The board is about to start reversing many of the gains the ground unions have made. Having a map of what’s already happened is the only way to plan for what’s coming next.

Here’s how you stay ahead of the curve:

✅ Anticipate the Risks: Stay in the know with developing trends
✅ Sharpen Your Strategy: New sheriffs = new fights. Get the right info.
✅ Connect the Dots: Regional Trends, Industry Hotspots, Union Strengths? You’ll see them before they smack you.
