Unions,especially those in the Change to Win Federation,have attempted to counteract the overall decline in membership by
A) reducing membership dues and initiation fees.
B) organizing manufacturing workers in third-world countries.
C) boycotting states with "employer-friendly" laws.
D) targeting service industry workers.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The best choice is D, targeting service industry workers. This is because service industry jobs are becoming increasingly prevalent in the economy, and thus present a potential area for growth in union membership. Reducing membership dues and initiation fees (A) may attract some new members, but it is not a sustainable long-term solution. Organizing manufacturing workers in third-world countries (B) is outside the jurisdiction of many unions in the Change to Win Federation, who focus primarily on organizing workers within the United States. Boycotting states with "employer-friendly" laws (C) may send a message, but it does not directly address the issue of declining union membership.
