| Abstract: | The paper is based on data from a large survey of union learning representatives (hereafter as: ULRs) in order to describe ULR experience and activity. Results reveal, among others, that ULRs made a contribution to increased diversity and represented an injection of "new blood" within workplace union structures and that active and effective ULRs were most likely to be found in workplaces with substantive structures and institutions underpinning union learning and reflecting a clear commitment from the employer. The article concludes that some degree of additional statutory support may be necessary in order for ULR activity to permeate in environments in which the support was absent. |
