Union influence set to stabilize in the U.S.
Between 1979 and 2004, union membership in the United States declined from nearly 21 million workers to under 15.4 million. While membership has been relatively stable since 1985, the percentage of workers who are union members, or "union density," shrunk from 24.1% to 12.5% as the workforce expanded. This decline has weakened unions' collective bargaining power and political clout.
