Union Membership At Lowest Level

From Bloomberg, "Union Membership Falls to Record Low 11.8%" by Holly Rosenkrantz:
Labor unions represented 6.9 percent of employees in private companies, unchanged from 2010 and down from 7.2 percent in 2009, according to data released today by the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The overall union membership rate was 11.8 percent, down from 11.9 percent in 2010. That figure reflects both public and private-sector workers. The rate of unionization in the public sector was 37 percent.

  1. Thanks for the information. I think mass privatisation is leading to such declining statistics.
