Trends in Worker Demand for Union Representation
基于1977、1980、1982和1984年四次调查数据，研究非工会工人对工会代表需求急剧下降的原因，发现下降与工作满意度上升及对工会改善工资工作条件能力信念的减弱相关。
The dramatic decline in the demand for union representation among nonunion workers over the last decade is investigated using data on worker preferences for union representation from four surveys conducted in 1977, 1980, 1982, and 1984. Relatively little of the decline can be accounted for by shifts in labor force structure. However, virtually all of the decline is correlated with an increase in the satisfaction of nonunion workers with their jobs and a decline in nonunion workers ' beliefs that unions are able to improve wages and working conditions.
