I was surprised to read the other day that the percentage of Americans represented by a labor union is a hir (or skosh) above 10%, at 10.1% as of 2022 which is when the Bureau of Labor Statistics last counted noses.
I know, 'we had covid, and precautions from lockdowns and the impact of all of that on the economy' yadda, yadda, blah, blah. We also had, and continue to have unparalleled levels of greed at the personal and corporate wealth level and there's data to suggest a majority of us think declining membership in unions is BAD, not that we seem to be in a hurry to join ourselves.
But both the total number of union members and overall interest in unions, well, some unions, may be about to get a decent-sized bump if not grind as well.
Proving again there are some things AI and teleworking just can't do. Yet.
