What is the "representation gap"? What evidence, if any, exists to suggest that there may be a representation gap in the United States?

What will be an ideal response?


The representation gap is the difference between the percentage of workers who express interest in representation in the workplace and the number that are unionized. When workers were asked about their desire for union representation, approximately one-third of nonunion workers said they would like a union in their workplace (desired union density rate of 40%). The difference between the desired union density rate (40%) and actual union density rate (10%), results in a 30% representation gap.
