| Abstract: | This paper uses data from the Australian Workplace Industrial Relations Survey conducted in 1989-90 to examine the net impact of trade unions on the extent of formal types of employer-provided training. A net-positive effect is found , but only where unions are active in the workplace and not merely de jure representatives of the work-force. The results also indicate, with respect to in-house training, that unions shift the emphasis towards work-forces with long tenure, a finding that is consistent with "union voice" arguments. |
