The sort of union-based realpolitik that Nathan Newman & John Lacny
are defending is a perfect example of why density is going to zero.
It all may make some sort of bureaucratic sense in the short term,
but in the long term it's doomed.
There's still some time though: given the current rate of decline,
private sector union density won't hit 0 until sometime in late 2030
or early 2031; at 7.7% in 2005, it's falling at the comfortable pace
of just 0.29 percentage points a year.
