    Union membership continues drop in N.C. AP, Winston-Salem Journal, NC
    Just 2.7 percent of employees in the state counted as union members in 2004. Since 1995, when the federal government began tracking union membership by state, North Carolina labor organizations have lost 35,000 dues-paying members, or 26 percent of its membership.

    The state has the lowest union enrollment rate in the nation.
