The Unions of the Future and the Future of Unions

Abstract

Membership decline, marginalization of union influence in a range of businesses and loss of political influence have raised major questions about the survival of the union movement in the UK in anything like its present form. However, such pressures have been in operation for at least a decade and trade unions have responded both by effecting major internal organisational changes (Willman, Morris and Aston, 1993) and by further mergers (Buchanan, 1992).
