Why Do Non–union Employees Want to Unionize? Evidence from Britain

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: This paper assesses the determinants of the level of support for union membership among non–union employees. Using data from a representative sample of non–union employees in Great Britain, the research confirms the importance of job dissatisfaction, left–wing views and perceived union instrumentality as predictors of willingness to join a trade union, union instrumentality being the most significant.
