Summary:

Despite determined competition from national unions, unaffiliated intrastate and single-employer unions continue to account for a small, relatively stable proportion of the membership in organized labor. However, the American labor movement today usually is defined to include the AFL-CIO and its affiliated unions and the national unions outside the federation. The existence of local unaffiliated unions, more often than not, is overlooked entirely. The eclipse of the small unaffiliated local unions, which once accounted for a relatively significant segment of organized labor in the United States, began with the passage of the National Labor Relations (Wagner) Act in 1935, and was hastened by the emergence and growth of strong national unions during World War II. The Bureau of Labor Statistics biennial surveys of union membership, for the most part, have been confined to national and international unions; that is , those labor organizations which bargain with more than one employer in more than one State. To fill the gap in its membership statistics, the Bureau conducted its first survey of local unaffiliated unions in 1961. This, the Bureau's second survey, permits a look at trends and should provide a basis for further research into the nature and activities of these organizations.
