Unions on the Brink? Some Evidence on the Union Recruitment of Managerial and Professional Workers

Abstract

Unions face a series of common problems which have been expressed in declining union membership, the growth of non‐union employment, and a decline of influence and power inside and beyond the workplace. The problems include changes in economic structure and labour markets, the effects of government's neo‐ liberal economic policies, a hostile legal environment, and wider social and political changes.
