trade union density statistics

Trade union density measures the percentage of workers who are members of a union within a specific workforce or country. It indicates how widespread union membership is, reflecting the level of collective representation and influence workers have. For example, if 30% of employees in a country are union members, the union density is 30%. This statistic helps assess the strength of organized labor and its ability to advocate for workers' rights, better wages, and working conditions. Higher density generally suggests more collective bargaining power, while lower density may indicate less union influence.
