NEW YORK (Reuters) – Union membership levels dipped ever so slightly in 2024 as government workers maintained outsized representation in the ranks of organized labor, a government report Tuesday said.
Some 9.9% of American workers were represented by unions, compared to 10% in 2023, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, in an annual release. Just over 14 million workers were members of unions, in a report that also noted that the union membership rate for government workers was five times higher than for private sector workers.
