They are not. There are independent sources that cover these things, just like there are independent sources that cover strikes that say that strikes are going up statistically... even though the government says differently!
We don't even know if they include IWW unions!
The union rate is rising until people can give proof otherwise.
Feel free to name your supposed independent sources
Edit: PS the idea that union density is going up until you're "disproven" (1) is terrible logic, doesn't make any sense and (2) I already showed you the only source available and it says it continues to go down, the trend that's been going on for decades.
Uh, the big story was that it was reversing course; that's what the rest of the media reported on.

What?
