| Abstract: | The decline of union membership within partially organized firms is explored. A series of propositions are tested concerning the effects of corporate industrial relations values and strategies and workplace innovations on union representation and membership. The results show that whereas the average firm reduced the number of workers represented by unions by approximately 977 from 1977 to 1983,firms that placed a high priority on union avoidance reduced union representation by an average of 2647 workers over the same period. |
