From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Income inequality surged as union membership declined from 1980, when people stopped being automatically enrolled in their union.[1] A "closed shop" is unlawful,[2] but with a right to opt out, unions can collectively agree that staff automatically become members.[3]
