The Labor Department data show only 5.6% of workers overall are union members, barely more than half of the 10.3% national rate.

Oklahoma is not particularly fertile ground for union efforts. When including government employees, only 10.3% of workers nationwide are union members, roughly half the rate of union membership in 1983, the first year it was tracked by the Labor Department, when union membership made up 20.1% of the nation’s workers. Labor Department data show only 4.4% of retail workers nationwide are members of unions, compared to 6.1% of employees working at businesses overall.

The retail sector has a far lower rate of unionization than some other industries. Even if the unions had won all those votes - NLRB data don’t break down how many workers worked at each company holding a vote - it would be a small fraction of the more than 100 million workers at US businesses who don’t belong to a union, according to Labor Department statistics. And the 70% success rate by unions in those votes is far better than the 42% success rate in the first seven months of 2021.īut only 41,000 potential union members were eligible to vote in the 2022 elections. Between January and July of this year there were 826 union elections, up 45% from the number held in the same period of 2021, according to a CNN analysis of data from the NLRB.
