"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary." ~ H.L. Mencken
Union Membership Drops to 12 Percent
"The union membership rate for government workers, 36.2 percent, was substantially higher than for private industry workers, 7.4 percent." No surprise here. Unions are much more likely to exist in the public sector since the government's ?customers? ? the taxpayer ? cannot freely choose a cheaper, more efficient (typically non-unionized) provider of goods and services.
