UNION RESEARCH PAPERS<\/span><\/strong><\/h1>\n

Prepared by Linda Briskin<\/span><\/em>
\n 
\n 
\nThe research papers included in the unions module address the following key themes: union renewal, leadership and representation, worker militancies, organizing the unorganized, and the union advantage. They highlight internal struggles of unions to transform their institutional practices and policies, and external struggles to improve conditions of employment, and to advance equity through social policy. These papers offer a gendered analysis and make visible not only the relevance of gender to understanding unions as a labour market institution but also the critical importance of union women’s organizing to the project of union revitalization. These papers draw on and interrogate statistical data, and also utilize documentary sources from unions. They raise issues often neglected in the scholarly literature and absent in most published statistics.<\/span>
