Oh well.
The union vote. Once as in 1960 for JFK vs. Nixon it meant a lot.
In the 1960s, the percentage of workers who were members of unions was falling from the peak achieved in the 1940s and 1950s. While 31.5% of workers were union members in 1950 and 33.2% were in unions in 1955, that percentage fell to 31.4% in 1960, 28.4% in 1965 and 27.3% in 1970.

U.S. union membership rates fell to fresh record lows in 2023 despite it being a year of headline-grabbing organized labor strikes.
The union membership rate fell to 10.0% from what had already been a record-low 10.1% in 2022, the Labor Department said on Tuesday. Records showed continued growth in union membership among people of color and a narrowing pay advantage for union workers.
