It’s well known the majority of U.S. workplaces today operate union free. The unionization rate of American workers currently stands at 10.3%. In non-government workplaces, the percentage is only 6.4%. This is the lowest percentage of unionized workers since the passage of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) in 1935. The lack of a union in the overwhelming majority of workplaces has understandably led to a major decline in knowledge about unions by both employers and employees.
