Social workers in unions: a survey

Abstract

As the union membership of professional social workers continues to grow, it is becoming increasingly important to obtain empirical data about the nature and focus of this trend. This survey of eighty-four MSW union members in a large urban area revealed a belief that unionism and professionalism are compatible. MSWs also saw the union's role as focusing on narrow economic issues, a view that contrasts with the past involvement of social work unions in professional issues and movements for social change.
