Public Sector-Private Sector Differences in Reasons Underlying Expressed Union Preferences Journal of Collective Negotiations in the Public Sector 16,1 (1987): 1-14 Cohort(s): Young Men, Young Women Publisher: Baywood Pub. Co. Keyword(s): Behavior; Collective Bargaining; Private Sector; Public Sector; Unions Recent waves of the Young Men and Young Women NLS samples provide information not only on how respondents would vote in a hypothetical union representation election, but also on the primary reason for their vote. This paper uses the primary reason information to examine whether differences exist between public sector and private sector workers in the reasons underlying expressed voting preferences. The major finding of the paper is that the relatively large demand of public employees for union representation reflects a relatively strong preference for collective action. Our interpretation of this finding is that public employees recognize the economic payoff to collective behavior in the political arena. |
