В Висконсине, как мы помним, пару лет назад отменили принудительное членство в профсоюзах, среди прочего. Но, разумеется, те, кто считал, что профсоюзы - это такая классная идея, которая поможет трудящимся защищать их права, они всё равно останутся в профсоюзе, правда? И если это действительно хорошая идея, таких людей будет много?
In 2010 — the year that Walker was elected governor — the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees District Council 48 was thriving, having enrolled more than 9,000 workers and reporting income exceeding $7 million.
By the end of 2012, District Council 48 was down to just under 3,500 dues-paying members — a loss of nearly two-thirds of its represented workers.
/.../
Other public employee unions are faring only marginally better. Most have lost between 30% and 60% of their members in the past two years.
И далее:
Under a provision of Act 10, public employee unions are required to file for annual re-certification by August 30 if they wish to remain a recognized bargaining unit. Thursday Afternoon, Mark Belling broke the news that only 37 percent of the teachers in the Kenosha Unified School District voted to reauthorize the union in a recent vote.
И т.д. Как видим, если не загонять в профсоюз насильно, то популярность его сильно упадёт.

Но если серьезно, то мне тут подумалось, что если членство в партии то было бенефитом (определяющим карьеру и всякие плюшки), то в профсоюзы в СССР загоняли именно силком, так, что хрен отмажешься (хотя кое-какие плюшки профсоюзы тоже определяли).

Нигде кроме, как в public sector.
