It is accurate to state that the majority of middle class working people
are either non-union, work for a non-union company *or* are
self-employed.

In fact, I think that pretty much covers *all* working people.


I think, including public workers, unions account for a little over 12%
of the workforce. They had been a dwindling segment, but apparently, in
the last several years, union membership has shown a bit of an uptick.
