I find it amazing the number of people I run into who see unions as all that is wrong with America.

Unions are barely a force in the economy, and they’re becoming less of a force every year.

Last year, union membership declined to 11.3% from 11.8% of all workers, according to data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics released Wednesday. Unions lost about 400,000 members last year, lowering their ranks to about 14.4 million members.

Meantime, one of the most successful unions in the history of planet Earth seems to be as solid as ever. That being the union CEOs have formed to sack corporations with some of the highest pay anyone has ever counted.
