| Abstract: | The percentage of the U.S. work force that is unionized is at its lowest level in more than fifty years. Although many studies have sought the reasons for this decline, few have investigated characteristics of unions themselves as possible factors. This paper focuses on unions as organizations, and applies a model of national union effectiveness to union organizing. The authors propose a composite measure of organizing effectiveness that goes beyond union success in representation elections. Organizing effectiveness is enhanced by innovation and reduced by centralization of control at the national level. |
