A senator has proposed a sweeping plan to dramatically increase union membership over the next decade, aiming to triple union density by 2035. To fund expanded social welfare programs, the proposal includes new tax measures targeting data centers and artificial intelligence companies. Critics may question whether the revenue targets are realistic, while supporters argue the policies could strengthen worker protections and economic equity. The plan could reshape labor laws and corporate taxation if implemented.
The senator wants to “triple union density by 2035” and pay for a host of social welfare programs with new taxes on data centers and AI companies.
