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.
The Pew Research Center poll found that 54 percent of surveyed U.S. adults believe the decline in union membership is bad for the country. Another 59 percent said that the decline is bad for working people, the survey found.
Union membership has been decreasing in the U.S. in recent years. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported the union membership rate at 10 percent in 2023, which is slightly down from 10.1 percent in 2022. Pew noted that union membership has dropped significantly since 1983, when about 20.1 percent of American workers were in a union.

Actually the opposite.
Despite LAUREN SFORZA, The Hill, and the Delusional Lying Left, unions are economy killers and very bad for the country.
BULLS***!!!! Most Americans are friggin’ morons, then.
Public sec unions are a whole thing
Unions are evil. I dealt with union workers working one summer during college at Whirlpool.
Sabotage, drinking on the job, drug selling, disappearing from the line, constantly filing grievances, etc.
And they were stupid , low IQ trash.
No they don’t. The unions are so powerful they can put out a bs statement like this.
And public sector unions should be prohibited.
Private sector unions are dead. Only 6% of US workers are in a union now. In the 1950’s it was well over 25%.
Ain’t buyong
Loaded question.
How many of the respondents were actually members of unions?
Most union members today are getting a government paycheck. It’s a very,very,*very* bad idea for *any* government employees to be union members.
Did they ask the illegals just pining for their green cards?
Because they will work for a ton less money than those pesky union guys.
That’s may be what they think, but we are no longer living in Victorian era company towns with limited employment opportunities. Nowadays, unions can wreck an economy if they get too powerful in relation to employers, as they — and the socialist politicians helping them — continually make it harder for businesses to make money. That’s what happened between the Great Depression and the election of President Reagan.
A Pew poll of “adults” so you know it is BS
I was Teamster for 35 years, never missed paying a due. I called on the union one time, when we went on strike in 1997. After spending millions of union dues and untold man hours getting Slick Clinton elected, our union strike pay was $56/ week. We were starved out in three weeks and went back under management terms. Screw the unions!
I call bull malarkey.

I know a collective bargaining attorney. He used to have a lot of business. “Used to” is the operative phrase.
