That means that the unions represent an even smaller percentage of drivers than they did then. I would say somebody is not getting their message across. I would certainly be worried if I was pro union. |
over 20 years, on an average of $20 a month in dues.. 5 million members.. that equals out to be $24,000,000,000..
seems to be a pretty hefty loss to me..
