Open Data Asked by UpQuark on September 29, 2021
I’m looking broadly for datasets that offer insight into labor union membership, participation and behavior in the U.S.
So far there’s some good stuff in the Office of Labor Management and Standards financial reports data, but I can’t find much else in the way of robust datasets about unions. There’s also some interesting stuff on the Department of Labor developer site here, but it doesn’t seem to touch on unions at all (other than one column in an OSHA dataset).
Are there any other datasets or bodies that accumulate public data on unions / labor participation in the U.S.? I’d specifically love any datasets that associate unions with specific industries or employee titles, but would welcome basically anything.

The Union Membership and Coverage Database is an Internet data resource providing private and public sector labor union membership, coverage, and density estimates compiled from the Current Population Survey (CPS), a monthly household survey, using BLS methods. These statistics are provided by the BLS in its annual Union Membership survey, but due with less detail. Be sure to read the background information on Unionstats.com with its commentary on the accuracy of the sample.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) of the U.S. Department of Labor is the principal Federal agency responsible for measuring labor market activity, working conditions, and price changes in the economy. Its mission is to collect, analyze, and disseminate essential economic information to support public and private decision–making.
