| Abstract: | This study explores the prospects for union membership growth in the U.K. voluntary sector examining the efforts of workplace activists to defend terms and conditions and recruit and retain members in two voluntary organizations. The importance of workplace activists in contributing to successful mobilisation is confirmed. It is also found, however, that differences in inter-organisational relations btw. the two organizations and state funding bodies shaped by product markets and competition are essential in explaining the variability in outcomes for union mobilisation efforts. |
