Membership Decline

The Gini coefficient


_

Membership is declining due to...

  • Loss of unionized manufacturing jobs.
  • Growth of service jobs (not union).
  • Growth of part-time jobs (nonunion).
  • Globalization (jobs shipped off-shore).
  • Benefits now guaranteed by law.

Decline in union membership correlates perfectly
with the increase in American income inequality.
