Keep in mind that union workers are only about 8% of the work force.

Most of them work for the government.


Actually, it's about 50/50. Of course, it depends on how you define
"public"
sector. Does that include police and other essential services? Are you
including the Post Office (which is quasi-government)?


Certainly USPS is in the public sector, as are teachers, firemen and
policemen (along with the huge bureaucracy that they drag around
behind them).

In any case, it's pretty evenly divided between public and private. Of
course, the teacher's unions are evil, right?
