Abstract: | This study demonstrates that the Canadian labor movement has outperformed its American counterpart in terms of union growth,
union density, and certification outcomes. Labor and product market factors do not appear to be major contributing factors.
Public policy and increased employer resistance have played a critical role, particularly in the decline of unionization in
the United States. Union-related variables — militancy, structure, and the desire and ability to organize — are also important
in explaining the divergent union trends in the two countries. |
