Union Membership Drops Drastically in Wisconsin

"Wisconsin membership in the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees—the state's second-largest public-sector union after the National Education Association, which represents teachers—fell to 28,745 in February from 62,818 in March 2011, according to a person who has viewed Afscme's figures. A spokesman for Afscme declined to comment."

That's a big drop. Here's a list of nations by union membership as a percentage of all employees. American must really be annoyed with unions these days since they represent a rather small figure of the work force. Canada has 2 1/2 times more membership - mostly in Quebec and Newfoundland. France came in last, which is a bit of a shocker really.

40% of Quebec's work force is unionized.

That's, like, a lot.
