union rolls

"By the 1970s, the politically formidable British working classes were in decline. Britain's manufacturing industries were fading and union rolls were shrinking."

Could you please explain the meaning of "rolls" as used with "union?

I defined each word alone, but was unable to understand the meaning of the phrase.

Thank you
