This is one of the biggest pet peeve. People think Union members are white dudes in hard hats with mustaches. But they are more likely to be a woman who is a nurse or librarian. They are more likely to be a Black woman who works for the federal government in Maryland than a Teamster or USW member.
curious: if you were filling in the blank on “UAW is the [nth] biggest union in the United States of America” what would you guess?
