      Still pretty much 10% 😢

      That’s not the whole story; raw number of members has ticked up but since unemployment is real low now and the rise is pretty slight, the percent of membership is still dropping. I’d love to be able to tell you it’s different, but that is the reality.

    This is why wages are failing to keep up with inflation now for decades. Breaking up the labour unions has been an enormous accelerator for the capitol owning classes.
