Do you trust the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics?SJConspirator » 21 Jul 2022, 9:50 am » wrote: ↑ post #13 , Magellan
I was kind enough to humor your second unsupported assumption, that labor membership has dropped dramatically. You're welcome

Union membership has declined steadily since 1983, the earliest year for which strictly comparable data are available.
The number of employed union members has declined by 2.9 million since 1983. During the same time, the number of all wage and salary workers grew from 88.3 million to 133.7 million. Consequently, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent in 1983 and declined to 11.1 percent in 2015.
