No wonder that Big Labor is desperate for legislation designed to grease the rails for unionization (the so-called “card check” procedure) — the new figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics show that unions continue in decline:
–Overall density drop from 12.5% to 12.0%
–decline of 326,000 workers
–Private sector decline from 7.8% to 7.4%
–Public sector decline from 36.5% to 36.2%
–Union density fell in 31 states
–Only four states (NY, NJ, HI, AK) have union density over 20%
