And how many of those are government employees?
Highlights from the 2020 data:
--The union membership rate of public-sector workers (34.8 percent) continued to be
more than five times higher than the rate of private-sector workers (6.3 percent).
In 2020, the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of unions--the union
membership rate--was 10.8 percent, up by 0.5 percentage point from 2019, the U.S. Bureau
of Labor Statistics reported today. The number of wage and salary workers belonging to
unions, at 14.3 million in 2020, was down by 321,000, or 2.2 percent, from 2019. However,
the decline in total wage and salary employment was 9.6 million (mostly among nonunion
workers), or 6.7 percent. The disproportionately large decline in total wage and salary
employment compared with the decline in the number of union members led to an increase
in the union membership rate. In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data
are available, the union membership rate was 20.1 percent and there were 17.7 million
union workers.

Yet jag-offs like Omaha Steve Dawes think unions represent over 50% of the country.
