    Layoffs Hit Black Auto Workers Hardest - by Chris Nisan, Chicago Defender
    Says the report: 'In 2004, African-Americans were still more likely to be in a union (16.6 percent) than whites (13.9) and Hispanics (11.4 percent). Nevertheless, the decline in union membership for black workers between 1983 and 2004 was sharper for blacks (down 15.1 percentage points) than it was for whites (down 8.3 percentage points) and Hispanics (down 12.8 percentage points).'
