The story behind this shirt

Sociologists Bruce Western and Jake Rosenfeld tracked private-sector union membership falling from 34 to 8 percent for men and 16 to 6 percent for women between 1973 and 2007, while hourly wage inequality kept rising. Accounting for unions' effect on both union and nonunion pay, they attribute about a third of that inequality growth among men, and a fifth among women, to deunionization itself. The sticker says "Union decline: a fifth to a third of the gap." and carries the address of the Unions page on this site, where the claim sits with its evidence, the best case against it, and the answer. It is sized for a laptop lid or a water bottle. Print partner and vinyl stock stay pending until a physical sample has been checked.
