According to the Hirsch and Macpherson database, the union membership rate, the percentage of wage and salary workers who were members of a union in 2012 was 11.2 percent, down from 11.8 percent in 2011 (Hirsch and Macpherson, 2013). Across the public and private sector of the US economy, the public sector rate (35.9 %) was five times higher than the private sector (6.6 %) (Hirsch and Macpherson, 2013). In addition to the steady decline in union membership, organized labor’s use of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) supervised representation election process has also declined over time. In 1983, 4,405 private sector representation elections were held in the United States and only 1,468 were held in 2012.The purpose of this paper is to evaluate the use of the representation election process by organized labor to grow membership in the private sector of the US economy over the last 30 years and recent efforts by organized labor to stem the decline in membership.
