That decline is especially noticeable in manufacturing and the federal government, two strongholds of black employment that have gone through cutbacks in union workers in recent years. When has union Federal employment ever gone down in the last 50 years???? About the only thing I can think of is when Clinton cut the US military by 40%, and claimed he had "shrunk" the federal government...

A lot of the jobs that African-Americans held in the government that were union jobs have been outsourced over the years. Many of the employees are now working for the the contractors, but they tend not to be union.
That being said, I always heard that the government is one of the unions' strongest growth areas.
