The union movement in the united states is in trouble. Indicators of its health show it is very ill. The only debatable point is whether the illnes is terminal or simply presents another one of the down cycles from which the union movement has suffered furing its lifetime. The severity of the illness is best illusrated by declining membership : Data from the bureau of labor statisctics show that union membership has fallen from 23% of the workforce in 1980 to 18.8% in 1984 the lowest in recent history and the lowest of any other fee industrial nation, with the possible exception of spain. This decline represents a loss of 2.7 million union members. As recently as the 1950s. over 30% of the workforce belonged to unions. Data from decertification and certification elections point to a significant decline as unions lose an increasing number of elections. The reasons commonly cited for the decline in union membership are many and varied. Some reflect trends in the economy, globalization resulting in the decline of traditionally unionized industries such as automobiles, garments, food processing and steel, a sharp growth in the service sector, which is harder to organize, the emerge of non union competition in newly deregulated industries such as airlines and trucking and a decrease in demand and / or over production in industries e. g. meat packing. Other threats to unions include automation, the changing legal situation with respect to union organizing and employee rights and finally, the changing expectations of the new workforce.
