| Description |
Union density — the proportion of wage and salary earners who are union members — has been falling around the world in recent years.2 Although there are exceptions, the trend has been pervasive. The reasons for the decline are well-known and documented in several studies. The major factors contributing to the decline include corporate restructuring in the wake of globalization (marked by downsizing, outsourcing, and use of part-time, temporary, and contract work); privatization and contracting out of public services; increasing application of information technologies and new methods of production and management; changes in public policy towards deregulation and market-oriented solutions; aggressive antiunion employer behaviour and attitudes; insufficient organizing efforts by unions to offset losses in membership, and the inability of unions to work in solidarity to organize the expanding nonunion workforce. Canada is no exception. |
