Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Labor union membership in the United States has been on a general decline since the 1950s, not growing steadily in recent years. Additionally, the statement about collective bargaining negotiations ending in strikes at the rate of one out of four is not accurate; the actual rate of negotiations leading to strikes is much lower.
