In 2023, the number of workers who represented by unions amounted to about 16.19 million, an increase from 2022, but an overall decline since 1983. Employees represented by unions are not necessarily union members themselves, rather they are employed in roles where their contracts are covered by a union or similar collective bargaining agreement.
