OP, IMHO those union executive wages you “expose” are minimum wage in comparison to private sector CEOs responsible for an equal number of people.
Why not research that and report back so a fair “apples to apples” analysis can be made?
BTW, I do not expect a response, as facts are now in play.
Fake News.
Wow!
Such a lengthy conversational back and forth between one sole biased and indoctrinated individual, or business owner.
Thanks Sybil, for the Inner-head diatribe.
I am union because I prefer a better wage and the better benefits afforded my children, my partner, and myself.
If you don’t feel forming a community with other like-wised individuals to better all your lots in life, so be it.
Stop the diversion. It’s so tired.
Union Membership Still On the Decline
The Bureau of Labor Statistics recently released 2019 data on union membership, and it doesn’t look good for labor leaders.
The numbers show that union membership dropped in 2019 to a record low of just 10.3 percent. That rate fell by .2 percent from 2018, and is almost half of what it was in 1983 (the first year with comparable data).
While union membership is still more prevalent among public-sector employees than among those in the private-sector, both showed an overall drop in the number of workers belonging to a union.
What could be causing this continued decline in union membership, especially in the private-sector? Perhaps it’s the ongoing corruption scandal taking place at the United Auto Workers. Just this month, a 12th official was convicted in the high-profile federal investigation at the union. Former Region 5 Director Vance Pearson pleaded guilty to embezzling more than “$1.5 million in union funds spent on personal luxuries…including golf, cigars, private villas and liquor.”
In Tennessee, where the UAW lost a notable vote to unionize a Volkswagen plant in Chattanooga last year, union membership dropped by almost 13 percent in 2019, despite overall gains in employment. The percent of unionized private-sector workers dropped from 5.5 percent to just 4.6 percent. That gives Tennessee the sixth lowest union membership rate across all 50 states.
In Michigan, where the UAW’s headquarters is located, union membership fell by almost a full percentage point in 2019 — that’s more than across the entire country.
With one of the nation’s leading labor unions caught up in a large-scale scandal to defraud workers, it’s no wonder union membership rates continue to fall. What’s happening at the UAW is a cautionary tale — and it looks like employees across the country are taking notice
A union assistant makes $128k? haha, what a racket they have going.
I don't pay dues. Still received very generous VSP.
