Industrial Restructuring and Union Density:: The Experience in One Large Corporation
Abstract
Between 1977–1985, total employment in one United Kingdom corporation, which initially had 20,000 employees with an overall trade union density of 65 per cent, fell by 45 per cent, while the union density fell by 13 per cent. Shop‐floor grades, which were more highly unionised were disproportionately affected by the employment reductions. The changes are charted for the eleven companies in the corporation and some relevant information on the companies offered.
