There are approximately 1,550,000 members in the SMWIA.

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Not sure
• D. It is exactly that number

Answer: (A)

The idea here is about the typical size of a single trade union. A sheet metal workers’ union represents a specific craft, and its membership is far smaller than 1.6 million. In practice, SMWIA (now part of SMART) has membership on the order of tens to a few hundred thousand, not in the millions. So claiming it has approximately 1,550,000 members isn’t accurate, making the statement false.
