From Online Gatherings to Industrial Relations Actors: A Framework for Understanding the Impacts of Digital Labour Groups
Digital labour groups (DLGs)—online groups focusing on labour issues—are emerging as new actors in employment relations. While existing research documents various aspects of DLGs' activities, there is limited understanding of their impact on industrial relations (IR) or how an impact is achieved. To address this, we drew on the synergy of mobilization theory, connective action and network analysis perspectives to review the literature on DLGs. We…
Would you like to become a union leader? Analysing leadership intentions through a generational lens
Identifying the next generation of leaders is fundamental for union renewal. Taking a sequential mixed methods approach using interview ( n = 25) and survey ( n = 4765) data, our study seeks to identify roadblocks members may face on the path to union leadership. Specifically, we explore the impact of union efficacy, perceived role ambiguity and perceived work role overload on union members' intentions to pursue a leadership role. We found percep…
From Unwoven Societal Relationships to a Broad-Based Movement? Union Power in Societal Networks in Quebec (Canada)
Power resources are embedded in societal ties. Using qualitative network analysis, our fieldwork in Quebec (Canada), based on 30 interviews and three focus groups, explored union-societal ties, their resource properties and the extent to which unions weave them into a network. We identified five different types of union-societal ties: instrumental, civil society organizations, identity-based, satellite and fishing line. These ties were mostly unw…
In the interest of everyone? Support for social movement unionism among union officials in Quebec (Canada)
Using a mixed‐method research design involving interviews and a survey, we examined how union officials in Quebec perceive social movement unionism (SMU). We show that union officials view SMU as a multifaceted phenomenon with ideal and pragmatic dimensions. They are torn between strong support for the ideals of SMU and a practical reluctance to use members’ dues to provide services to non‐members. Experience with civil society organisations miti…
In Unions We Trust! Analysing Confidence in Unions across Europe
Public institutions and trade unions in particular are often portrayed as facing a deep crisis. In order to better understand to what extent unions are still perceived as legitimate institutions from the society as a whole (working and non‐working individuals), we analyse the determinants of confidence in unions across 14 European countries between 1981 and 2009. Confidence in unions is explained through individual‐level variables (by a rational …
Social Confidence in Unions: A U.S.‐Canada Comparison
This article examines changes in levels of social confidence in unions in Canada and the United States between 1982 and 2006 based on an analysis of the World Value Survey (WVS) data set. It considers why confidence rates are similar in the two countries, applying a logistic regression model to the two most recent WVS waves (i.e., 2000 and 2006) so as to bring out the effects of political and social differences on the propensity of individuals to…
Confidence in Brazilian Unions: A Longitudinal Analysis
Although unions in Brazil are marginally effective in defining the employer-employee relationship, confidence in unions is high and exhibits a positive trend over time. A logistic regression model based on the Latinobarometer data series (1996-2009) empirically verifies that unions' state embeddedness really does matter in explaining confidence in unions in Brazil (i.e., confidence in government, especially during the Lula presidency, has a signi…
