Industrial Feudalism Reconsidered: The Effects of Unionization on Labor Mobility Report, Center for Human Resource Research, The Ohio State University, July 1981 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Center for Human Resource Research Keyword(s): Unions In recent years, sociologists have displayed increasing attention to investigating the ways in which institutional or organizational features of the labor market constrain workers' mobility patterns throughout the economy. Notable within this corpus of research by virtue of their glaring omission are analyses of the role of trade unions. This paper attempts to fill this gap by investigating union effects on patterns of job mobility. It finds that union effects vary by type of union and by type of job change, with industrial unions promoting the incidence of intra-firm occupation changes and craft unions decreasing the incidence of inter-occupation moves. The author concludes that unions operate to lend coherence and stability to careers by binding their members more closely to organizational and occupational structures. |
