The Attitudes of Union and Nonunion Male Workers toward Union Representation Industrial and Labor Relations Review 38,2 (January 1985): 179-194. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2523828 Cohort(s): Young Men Publisher: New York State School of Industrial and Labor Relations, Cornell University Keyword(s): Collective Bargaining; Industrial Relations; Racial Differences; Unions Using as its data base the National Longitudinal Surveys cohort of Young Men, this study found that striking differences in attitudes toward certification appear between union and nonunion sectors of the U.S. work-force. In addition, strongly persistent attitudes are observed across industries and by race within the nonunion sector. Four job characteristics (autonomy, security, pay adequacy, and the degree of danger associated with the work) were significantly related to positive attitudes toward certification. Forces other than job characteristics or economic environment must lie behind the conversion to pro-certification attitudes. Likely candidates are the relative power of individual actors in the industrial relations system, the legal provisions which help to establish power relationships, and the character of management structure in specific industries. |
