When the AFL-CIO merged in the 1950s, one of every three private-sector workers belonged to a labor union.

Now, only about 8 percent of private-sector workers are unionized.

That's a great figure for PRIVATE employers, but at the same time, GOVERNMENT employees have grown substantially in the Union memberships.

I cannot find one single reason for unions to still exist. The illegals on the West Coast are being seriously courted by the SEIU. There has to be some laws being broken in there somewhere.
