6. 4. When workers unionize : Trade union effects on management-worker conflict and attitudes towards immediate interests versus broader political agendas

   Author : Josef Ringqvist; Robert MacKenzie; Danat Valizade; Berglund Tomas; Karlstads universitet; []
   Keywords : SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; SAMHÄLLSVETENSKAP; SOCIAL SCIENCES; trade unions; union membership; industrial relations; collective bargaining; public perceptions; attitudes; policy preferences; management-worker conflict; job demands; job resources; autonomy; control; training; de-commodification; sectional interests; broader political agendas; environmental protection; environment; environmental policy; climate change; just transition; Working Life Science; Arbetsvetenskap;

   Abstract : Taking its point of departure in the questions of why workers unionize and what happens when they do, this dissertation studies trade union effects on public perceptions and attitudes through the lens of two overarching themes: conflict between management and workers, and tensions between immediate sectional interests versus broader political agendas. These themes are explored empirically through four research papers, studying (1) how union membership, union density, and institutionalization affect perceptions of conflict between management and workers; (2) the impact of trade unions at the workplace level as antecedents of job demands, job autonomy, job control, and training; (3) how union membership and collective bargaining coverage relate to workers’ willingness to prioritize environmental protection above growth and jobs, and; (4) whether and if so how the association between union membership and support for government spending on environmental protection varies internationally based on the level of economic development and environmental performance.

This study sheds light on the processes set in motion when notions of standardisation meet local practice. READ MORE
