The real takeaway in the BLS report is the transformation of the labor movement. A majority of union members in America (52 percent) now work for the government. This is up sharply from 49 percent in 2008. Put another way, Sherk finds, three times more union members now work in the Post Office than in the auto industry.
And they are all in favor of bigger government!
Imagine that.
I think it’s already like that here in California… It’s a bad trend that needs reversing.
