Description

This empirical study examines thirty-one British and fifty-one American national trade unions to develop an organizationally oriented theory of union democracy. Supported by in-depth analyses of the British Mineworkers' Union and the Engineers' Union, the book presents a general theory demonstrating how formal organisation within democratically normed countries can constrain oligarchic tendencies by stimulating competition among full-time officers seeking advancement within union hierarchies. The research bridges labour economics and organisational studies, offering insights into democratic structures and political processes within trade unions across two major industrial democracies.

Key Features

Comparative Union Democracy examines eighty-two national trade unions across Britain and America to establish empirical foundations for democratic theory.

The book analyses the British Mineworkers' Union and Engineers' Union in depth, illustrating how organisational structure influences union political processes.

Published by Routledge, this volume combines labour economics with organisational theory to explain how formal structures prevent oligarchy in trade unions.

The text develops a general theory applicable to countries with democratic norms, showing how union hierarchies and officer competition affect democratic outcomes.
