Abstract: | This article introduces the results of a survey conducted on unionization in over 650 firms in the private sector in the UK. It is shown that since 1997 there has been a slight fall in derecognition, but a relatively large increase in union recognition. This is consistent with the idea that the incoming Labour government had a positive effect on the ability of unions to gain recognition, either through the 1999 legislation or more indirectly through changing the political climate. |
