Worker surge in Deep South keeps union membership steady at 11.3%

[Adam Griffin]

Top 5 states in union growth (%): TN, GA, AL, SC, VA.

But it's not just percentage growth that's interesting: doing some rough counts, the total number of union jobs created in these five states in 2013 (135,000) was more than the net number of new union jobs added nationally in 2013 (~120,000).

Interesting.  My anecdotal evidence says that poor white Southerners are hostile to the very idea of unions and wouldn't want to sign up for one even if one was available.

Those damn unions are killing jobs and economic growth with their greedy, parasitic demands!

[I Will Not Be Wrong]

Should we expect VA and GA to trend even faster to the left now?

If the South can do it, then hopefully Utah can do it...
