Unions are shrinking all across America. This is especially true in the private sector, where most younger workers find them irrelevant. But that doesn’t mean the gig is up for unions. It just means that organizers have to become more creative.

Enter the campaign workers’ union. Marie Newman, a Democrat, is running to unseat the last moderate House Democrat, Rep. Dan Lipinski, D-Ill., in next Tuesday’s primary. With just a few days to go before the election, something called the Campaign Workers’ Guild has announced that its members have ratified a collective bargaining agreement with her campaign. The guild describes itself as “a new independent national union representing non-management workers on electoral and issue-based campaigns.”
