Maybe union membership has declined because unions have, long ago, done the things they were established to do after which they started doing things people didn’t want them to do.
Question: What is the private sector workforce union participation rate in the USA?
Moved to OK....and as far as I know...there are no HC unions here....
I make a good wage....I'm happy with it.
What the F is that supposed to mean global soy boy?
“decline in union membership”
is good
“Most US adults”... where was this supposed survey conducted? How was it conducted? How were participants selected?
Unions are, for the most part, a product of collectivist/Marxist operatives. Sure - working conditions were aided by union activity a ceuntry+ ago. But then the power they gained had the exact opposite effect on anything it has touched - it has bankrupted the US Auto industry (in some cases, more than once). They have pushed a large portion of manufacturing out of this nation. They have driven inflation... and corrupted the “free market”.
100%?
Worked for one in my 20’s because I had to.
Never again!
I’d favor unions if they helped workers.
But they don’t.
They’re just a scam to help democrats.
In Missouri they are quite powerful. They defeated the Right to Work initiative years ago.
Yep, they've aged out and have no worth any longer, other than union boss political power.
why would we believe any of this is true
propaganda
Going back many years, Pew polls are not honest.
The disconnect between union worker voting patterns and how unions spend political money and their official political positions is all you need to know.
UAW unions supporting democrats is insane, for example.
It depends on your location and industry as to how dead unions are. Unions are still a force to be reckoned with in Appalachia. Though their influence here is slowly being eclipsed by public sector and the teacher’s union. (Note for the purpose of this discussion I am making a distinction between the two!) Here you do see the UMW & industrial unions working politically hand in glove with public sector & teacher’s unions. They share many of the same “statist” goals and they just have to if they want to keep their influence. This is because of the growing numbers of those two public sector unions. The UMW & industrial unions need to leverage those numbers.
Over the next two decades union membership will increase substantially, as globalization companies shorten their supply chains back to “mother country” or region.
The only way this won’t happen on scale, is if there is a huge increase of independent businesses that suddenly appear.
Right now I don’t see that happening.
no longer living in Victorian era company towns with limited employment opportunities.

********
1. It means that there’s less need for unions than there used to be, when employees in company towns were the clear underdogs.
2. You need to clean-up your foul mouth.
So many destroyed towns all over the USA and I have to take s from a globalist soy boy?
“A majority of adults in the United States said the decline in union membership is bad for the country, according to a survey conducted earlier this year.”
A majority of adults in the United States said the decline in union membership is bad for the union leadership, if the true results were given by the folks taking the survey conducted earlier this year.
There, fixed it
