But even that has been problematic, as states continue to crack down on powerful government worker unions and local governments find expensive payrolls and benefits packages unaffordable. On the federal level, pay freezes and furloughs have taken their toll too.”

Or, perhaps union membership will dwindle even further as non-members realize that they can do just fine on their own two feet.”
