Pennsylvania has 701,000 union members out of a total workforce of 5,575,000 making a union participation rate of 13%. To me 13% is no where near a huge block. Put another way 87% of PA workers are not in a union.

Link here.

Trump won PA by 44,000 votes, but you are right, 701,000 is no where near a YUGE block.

F those stupid union bastards, who needs them, they are only a scare tactic for the ... what did you call them, the ignorant?

Almost like a basket of ???

Shove your stats into your Central __ and try to win your own state.

We have our own problems with the demonRATs, don't he'p them.

Labor, both union and non union, are not the enemy.

A Democrat has to win Pennsylvania to win the presidency, and he or she has to win western Pennsylvania to win the state, something the party did consistently between 1992 and 2012.

Clinton carried 1 county in Western PA. Obama carried 2 in 2012.

I think Al Gore was the last to actually "carry" the region.
