Declining Employment Brings Drop in Union Memberships
Washington U P The Labor Department reports a sharp drop in AFL-CIO union membership from 1960 to 1962 and likely ongoing in 1963, blamed on shifts toward white collar work and structural changes rather than worker disaffection. The AFL-CIO cites differing figures, noting a 1962 loss of about 74 thousand versus 222 thousand per the bureau. The union movement continues to seek a new surge of organizing, focusing on persuading white collar workers to join.
