Foundation Report: An Endangered Species? The State of American Unions

by on

An Endangered Species? The State of American Unions, Harold Meyerson, Friedrich-Ebert-Stiftung, September 2010.

  • “The U.S. labor movement confronts an existential threat of extinction, despite the election of Barack Obama and a Democratic Congress in 2008. This has been largely due to the loss of members in key industries and their inability to secure comprehensive labor reform laws that would help them grow. The unionized share of the workforce today is down to 12 percent, and a scant 7 percenof private-sector workers are union members. For the first time in American history, the number of unionized public-sector workers workers now exceeds that of unionized private-sector employees.”
