Duh, could it be that American workers choose to NOT be a member of a union? The handwriting is on the wall for the dinosauers of the labor movement.
Neither Sweeney nor anyone else can stem the tide of today's modern employees choosing freedom over their local Union Lemming Chapters.

I have a neighbor who was a union member. He quit after 15+ years. Their support for the rat lib agenda just got to stinking to much for him.
There was a time when unions really were working people combining their efforts to market their commodity (labor.) I have no problem with that. It has a free market ring to it. If it's enforced with bats and clubs against other potential workers, then even that has a free market ring to it.
But then the democrat party moved in and made the unions simply a cash reserve of their political party. The politicians gradually applied the rubber band of restrictive legislation to the gonads of the labor movement.
These geldings began asking for the ridiculous....in work restrictions, pay, benefits, etc. They made non-issues such as abortion, parental rights, and liberal foreign policy a centerpiece of their agenda.
How could such a hodgepodge of inanity survive?
Well who in Hell the asked them? They don't wanna join, break their legs, and you'll see how quick they join.
This has been the private sector trend for the last quarter century.
Nevertheless, RINO Republicrats overhype the old stereotypes while
ignoring union growth in the government sector of our economy.
Nationwide, only 15% of the manufacturing workforce is represented by organized labor.
In comparison, over 40% of government workers are unionized.
