UNION MEMBERSHIP DROPS TO 12 PERCENT
WILL LESTER, ASSOCIATED PRESS - The number of wage and salary workers
who were union members dropped to 12 percent of the work force last
year, the lowest percentage since the government started tracking that
number over two decades ago. The number of workers in a union was 20
percent in 1983, when Bureau of Labor Statistics first provided such
comparable numbers, and that number has been declining steadily. More
than a third of American workers, about 35 percent, were union members
in the mid-1950s.
