Working to rules: US unionists reorganise By KEVIN TAYLOR
In New Zealand, union membership is just above 20 per cent of the workforce - as is the percentage of wage and salary workers in collectives.
But people in US collectives total about 13-14 per cent.
On the other hand, New Zealand workers who attempt to organise a workplace are generally not fired for their efforts.
Firings occur in about a quarter of unionising drives in the US, says the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organisations (AFL-CIO).------------------------------------------- posted 7:58 AM :: reference link ::
