• W2152029076 abstract "For George Strauss, Daniel Gallagher and Jack Fiorito, eds., The State of the Unions, Madison, WI: IRRA, 1991. UNION MEMBERSHIP ATTITUDES AND PARTICIPATION Daniel G. Gallagher James Madison University and George Strauss University of California, Berkeley The strength of a union depends, in part, upon its ability to mobilize its members not only in strikes but also in policing the collective agreement, filing grievances, and serving in the capacity of union stewards or committee members. Overflow crowds at union meetings, thousands of workers demonstrating in front of city hall, or every member wearing a union button all give the impression of unity and strength. Satisfied, highly committed members are more likely to support their union in strikes or political activities and to assist in organizing campaigns. Further, satisfied members serve as living advertisements of the advantages of union membership and so help win elections as well as public support generally. The reverse occurs when member are unhappy. Scope of Coverage This chapter provides an overview and critique of research dealing with union members' attitudes toward their union and their participation in it. The introduction clarifies the distinctions between attitudes and behaviors and assists in integrating the various types of research to be considered. The central sections discuss first attitudes and then participation. One concluding section critiques present research and offers suggestions for future research; A second considers the policy implications of this research. A few caveats. First, the chapter deals with individual attitudes and behaviors. What unions as a whole do is not within the area of our focus. Secondly, to avoid overlap with other chapters, we minimize attention to such issues as why members join unions (Chapter 2) or their political activities (Chapter 9). Finally, although we refer to English language research on union members in other countries, literature in other languages is not reviewed, for example, the substantial Dutch literature cited by Klandermans (1984, 1986). Research Trends Union attitudes and behaviors received considerable attention during academic industrial rclations's Golden Age, especially between 1948-1953 (see: Spinrad, 1960; Strauss, 1977), but were then largely ignored in North America. Meanwhile significant studies of membership attitudes and behaviors (e.g., Batstone, Boraston and Frcnkel, 1977; Nicholson, Ursell, and Blyton, 1981; and Klandermans, 1984) were conducted in Europe. By contrast with North American authors, Europeans were more aware of the literature in political science and sociology and more likely to look at unions as social movements. Since 1980 North American research interest in union members has considerably revived, especially since a younger generation of industrial relations" @default.
