UNION MEMBERSHIP DROPS SLIGHTLY IN 2004; ONE-FOURTH IN N.Y. By PAI, ILCA
Including independent unions such as the Carpenters and the National Education Association, unions had 15.5 million members. Almost precisely half live in just six states: California, New York, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, and Ohio, in that order.
The most-unionized occupations included local government workers (46.7 percent), federal workers (36.8 percent), state workers (34.2 percent), education (37.6 percent), utilities (28.4 percent) and transportation (24.6 percent). Some of the categories overlap. The Fire Fighters, who would be counted in government workers, represent 85 percent of U.S. fire fighters.------------------------------------------- posted 12:34 PM :: reference link ::
