Government Union Membership Hits Record Low

This month marks the fifth anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s June 27, 2018, decision in Janus v. AFSCME which, in striking down dozens of state laws requiring public employees to pay union dues or fees as a condition of employment, gave millions of unionized government workers the ability to weigh the merits of union membership for themselves.
Many have decided that forking over thousands of dollars to ideologically divisive political advocacy groups isn’t in their best interest.
Federal reports show that, in the years since Janus, membership in the four largest labor unions representing public employees has declined by a whopping 733,745.
