Federal Unions ... the numbers
AFL-CIO: The AFL-CIO is a parent union to the American Federation of Government Employees (AFGE) and all but the National Treasury Employees Union (NTEU).
AFGE: 600,000 + 4,500 in DC area
AFGE is the largest federal union. It represents 600,000 federal workers and some 4,500 DC government workers and monitors issues that impact the federal workforce personal and professional lives such as funding, working conditions, and health care benefits.
Agencies with the highest concentration include the Defense, Social Security Administration, and Justice. Workplace inspectors, border patrols, VA medical staffs, and certain Environmental Protection Agency staff also make the membership list.
NTEU: 155,000
The NTEU is the largest independent non-postal federal employee union representing some 155,000 workers in 24 government agencies.
The NTEU represents the Customs Service and Border Patrol workers, employees of the Immigration and Naturalization Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service. The NTEU was first established in 1938 as the National Association of Employees of Collectors of Internal Revenue (NAECIR). The organization sought to improve working conditions, secure fair wages, and ensure job security for federal revenue officers. Over the years, the union has undergone name changes and expansion efforts. It took on its current name in 1975 and now includes members in Treasury, the FCC, ATF, and EPA. NTEU tries to ensure and expand federal worker protections, rights, and benefits.
NALC, NRLCA, and APWU: Postal employees are very familiar with and belong to unions. To them, the initials National Association of Letter Carriers (NACL) and American Postal Workers Union (APWU) are household names. The National Rural Letter Carriers Association (NRLCA) also represents U.S. postal employees.
AFSCME 1,300,000
The American Federation of State, County, and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) is the fastest growing and largest union for public employees, reporting a whopping 1.3 million members.
AFSCME represents a cadre of state and local workers and a small percentage of federal agencies and private and not-for-profit organizations. Public health, law enforcement, education, and public works employees comprise the bulk of its membership. Women account for a majority of the membership.
NAGE: 150,000
The National Association of Government Employees (NAGE) was formed in 1961. The organization assists government workers in collective bargaining and by lobbying for workplace safety, fair pay, and workers' benefits. Its President, Kenneth Lyons, has been at the helm since the union organized. NAGE represents 150,000 federal, state, and local government workers nationwide including emergency medical technicians, nurses, custodians, police officers, and scientists. NAGE is affiliated with a diverse set of smaller unions including the International Brotherhood of Police Officers (IBPO), the National Association of Nurses (NAON) and the Army/Air Technicians Union (AATU). It is also affiliated with the AFL-CIO and the Services Employee International Union (SEIU).
NFFE: The National Federation of Federal Employees (NFFE) represents federal and DC municipal employees. It was first organized in 1917 and is the oldest independent union for federal and DC government workers.
AFT and NEA 3,000,000 estimated
The American Federation of Teachers and the National Education Association also represent public employees.
This totals over 2.3 million Big Gov Employees plus teachers who owe their paychecks to those members of Congress plus the locals [i.e., teachers]. Politicians happily agree to their raise demands in return for their votes.

The NLRB's proposed new election guidelines are designed to make union certification elections as one-sided as possible by:
• Encouraging union operatives to conduct stealth organizing campaigns for months or even years until they collect "union authorization cards" from just 30% of the workforce;
• Ambushing the rest of the workforce with quick-snap elections just days after union organizers turn the cards in to the NLRB;
• Denying workers sufficient time to counter union-boss propaganda, educate themselves and coworkers about the effects of unionization, and organize in opposition to the union;
• Forcing companies to hand over to union organizers the name, address, phone number, email address, and shift schedule of each employee, exposing workers to "home visits" and other intimidation tactics. [www.NationalRightToWorkFoundation.org] 8/20/11

11%. In 2010, the union membership rate -- the percent of wage and salary workers who were members of a union -- was 11.%, down from 12.3% a year earlier, U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported. Number of wage and salary workers belonging to unions declined by 612,000 to 14.7 million.
In 1983, the first year for which comparable union data are available, the union membership rate was 20.1%, and there were 17.7 million union workers.
Highlights from the 2010 data:
• The union membership rate for public sector workers at 36.% was substantially higher than the rate for private sector workers at 6.9%. (See table 3.)
• Workers in education, training, and library occupations had the highest unionization rate at 37.1%. (See table 3.)
• Black workers are more likely to be union members than are white, Asian or Hispanic workers. (See table 1.)
• Among states, New York had the highest union membership rate at 24.2%. North Carolina had lowest rate at 3.2%. (See table 5.)
