The History of American Labor

Abstract

First published in 1997. Members’ participation in a labor union, as in any other social movement organization, occurs in the context of their multiple organizational involvements. Union members come to the union with membership in several other organizations. Do their multiple organizational involvements have any consequences for how active they are in a union? Do union members’ multiple organizational involvements promote or constrain their participation in a union? Under what conditions do organizational involvements influence the degree of union participation? Including a review of past literature on this area, this study aims to address these questions.
