Union Membership Up for First Time Since 1983

The percentage of American workers represented by unions rose in 2007, reversing a quarter- century decline in union membership.

The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that 12.1 percent of the workforce was made up of organized labor, up from 12 percent in 2006. While the gain was small, it was notable for being the first gain in union membership since the BLS began tracking it in 1983.

Another legacy that can be laid at Bush's feet; an increase in union membership. I guess despite the lack of media coverage about corporate malfeasance and union busting, the utter contempt that Bush displays for the working man has still shown through and people have seen the complete failure of the elite's corporate fascism.
