U.S. estimates union membership in new labor directory
The Bureau of Labor Statistics released a labor unions directory showing membership estimated between 14 and 16 million. The 1948 directory listed 15.6 million, with uncertainties from CIO totals after expulsion of six unions. CIO figures varied and many unions did not report membership, while AFL per capita taxes totaled over 7.2 million and 92 of its 107 unions reported figures.
