labor vote

Workers' electoral choice

The labor vote refers to the collective voting power of working-class people and union members, typically aligned with parties or candidates supporting workers' rights: Democrats are counting on the labor vote in swing states.

In British contexts, it often means support for the Labour Party specifically.

The term treats workers as a political bloc whose interests shape electoral outcomes.
