Union Membership in U.S. Fell to a 70-Year Low Last Year
By STEVEN GREENHOUSE
Published: January 21, 2011



The number of American workers in unions declined sharply last year, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported on Friday, with the percentage slipping to 11.9 percent, the lowest rate in more than 70 years.

The report found that the number of workers in unions fell by 612,000 last year to 14.7 million, an even larger decrease than the overall 417,000 decline in the total number of Americans working.

“It was a very tough year for unionized workers,” said John Schmitt, a senior economist with the Center for Economic and Policy Research in Washington. “We’re seeing declines in the private sector, and we’re seeing declines in the public sector.”

The number of private sector workers in unions fell by 339,000, to 7.1 million, while the number of public sector union members fell by 273,000, to 7.6 million.

The percentage of private sector workers in unions fell to 6.9 percent, down from 7.2 percent, the lowest rate for private sector workers in more than a century, labor historians said.

THAT BEING SAID. PLEASE SHARE WITH US WHY DID AUTO MAKERS LEAVE MOTOR CITY , LOCATING OVER SEAS, AS WELL AS TO THE RACIST STATE OF ALABAMA. .

RIGHT TO WORK

AT ONE TIME UNIONS WERE NEEDED. NO MORE. THERE ARE FEDERAL LAWS IN PLACE THAT PROVIDES PROTECTION AS WELL AS A " WAIT FOR IT THE BUZZ WORD HERE................. " LIVING WAGE"

UNIONS ADVOCATE SOME MIN WAGE OF 15.00 FOR FAST FOOD PLACES. GET REAL.

THE RIGHT TO WORK STATES NOW HAVE THE MOTOR CITIES JOBS.

UNIONS CALL THEM CHEAP LABOR. WELL WHERE I LIVE FOLKS DO QUITE WELL ON THESE CHEAP WAGES. THE UNIONS CARE LESS ABOUT THE WORKERS WAGES THEY MAKE MONEY DOING NOTHING. THEY PUSH TO STRIKE IF THE COMPANIES DONT PAY THE DUMB WAGES THEY WANT. IN A STRIKE WHO GETS PAID, >>>>> DRUM ROLL HERE................. IN A STRIKE THE UNIONS BOSSES STILL GET THE SALARIES PAID TO THEM FROM THE UNION DUES OF THE WORKERS, THE WORKERS. THEY WALK THE PICKET LINES. GETTING STRIKE PAY OR FOOD STAMPS. GREAT RETURN FOR U PAYING IN.

THE RIGHT TO WORK STATES AN WORKERS . THEY HAVE A STEADY SALARY. AN DONT PAY SOME ONE TO THREATEN COMPANIES FOR MORE MONEY.

WANNA SEE HOW MANY RIGHT TO WORK STATES NOW 22.

WANNA KNOW HOW MANY 25 YEARS AGO. 9

WONDER WHY

UNIONS ARE COSTING JOBS BY THEIR THUG TACTICS AN COMPANIES ARE MOVING.

WHO HAS BENEFITED FROM THE UNIONS??? JAPAN, CHINA, GERMANY. OH YES. MY STATE OF ALABAMA HAS 5 AUTO FACTORIES.

My husband once said about a business acquaintance, "Bill never lies, he just tells the truth the way he thinks it should be."

I tend to agree with MrsJoe about how valuable unions were in the past.

No comment on the 'dangly bits'!! LOLOL
