Abstract: | This paper analyzes the evolution of American unions’ attitudes and policies concerning employee ownership that coincided
with the rapid growth of employee stock-ownership plans during the 1980s. From an initial position of opposing employee ownership
and viewing it as a threat, many major unions have come to accept, and in some cases to promote, stock ownership for their
members. Among the factors driving this change of view have been economic necessity, evidence that many of the labor movement’s
traditional concerns about employee ownership are largely unfounded, and the growing realization among unions that employee
ownership is a potentially useful strategic asset. |
