Who do the words “union members” bring to mind? United Auto Workers
building cars in Detroit? Teamsters truckers hauling freight? Steel
workers in Pennsylvania?
Not any more. Newly released numbers show that the actual face of
today’s union movement is the teller at your local Department of
Motorized Vehicles.
Preliminary estimates of union membership this year show that most
union members now work for the government. The overall unionization
rate between January and September 2009 stood at 12.4%, unchanged from last year. However, this difference masks a large difference between unions in the private and public sectors.
