The future looks poorly for unions. The future of the society, its youth have taken a major hit.
The fall in the unionization rate was greatest among young workers. The rate for men decreased for every age group, but was especially pronounced in the 25-to-34 and 35-to-44 age groups. The unionization rate for young women also decreased, but to a lesser extent, mainly because the declines in the 1980s and 1990s were offset by gains in the 2000s. Conversely, older women were the lone group to see their rate increase between 1981 and 2014: up 4 percentage points for the 45-to-54 age group and 7 percentage points higher for the 55-to-64 age group.
Stats can has alot rich data about unionism so maybe I will do a youtube video on the subject.

This how things will work, 6 charts done of 90 + that will be part the presenation. Right now each image set for 15 seconds but when narration is included the chart time will vary. There will 45 or so red charts describing collective agreement coverage and 45 or black charts that give an estimated numbers of people covered. Image 2 not done yet.
Looking for feedback.

I don't think the data on this exists, but I've always thought that rather than just looking at union density, it would also be helpful to see the inflows and outflows to and from unions. For example, it's one thing to say that union density has fallen by 5%. It's another to understand why. Is it because of decertifications? Layoffs and plant closures in unionized facilities? Downsizing via attrition? The addition of new, non-union (or not-unionized-yet) jobs in new facilities and industries? Unions being unable to organize fast enough to keep up with additional jobs being added to the economy and new businesses starting up?
