unionized businesses

[brother chris]

I am trying to find a list of companies in Canada, that are unionized, but I seem to be having a hard time. I would actually be interested in finding out what companies in the USA are unionized too.<br />Any tips out there? <br />Thanks,<br />B.C.

Re: unionized businesses

Very few here in the US.<br />12.5% of all jobs, most of which are in the public sector (police,firefighters, state local and federal workers.)<br /><br />Of all public sector jobs, 36.4% are unionized.<br /><br />Private sector jobs, only 7.9% are union.<br /><br />Primary union industries here are construction and auto manufacturing.<br /><br /><br /> http://www.bls.gov/news.release/union2.nr0.htm

Briggs & Statton<br />Harley Davidson<br /><br />those I know for sure. My dad has worked at Briggs for 30yrs and my Grandpa used to work at Harley and was president of the union for awhile.

Hey Pony, my dad worked for Briggs, 34 years, retired 18 years ago. Worked diecast on 124th and Burleigh.

Thats where my dad is working right now. He worked there a long time, then moved to the Menomonee Falls plant before Harly bought it and when Briggs still had Vangaurd up here. Then he went back to 124th, were he now works in automatic screw machines.
