“Just 7 percent
of private-sector union members voted for the union that represents them, and
the vast majority of government unions organized at least 30 years ago. The
workers inherit the representation of yesteryear, which negotiates their terms
of pay, promotion, layoff, and retirement.
Once organized, unions remain indefinitely. Naturally, that gives union leaders little reason to be accountable to their members in any way—they're not going to have to stand for re-election.”
