This paper constructs a time-series model of trade union growth and decline in the Federal Republic of Germany (1955–1986) by testing and combining eleven economic and socio-political hypotheses prevalent in the German and international trade union literature. The model employs wages, prices, unemployment, employment, and the proportion of foreigners in the workforce as explanatory variables. It proves to be satisfactory when judged in terms of usual statistical criteria such as overall goodness of fit, and signs, magnitudes, and significance of the estimated regression coefficients, as well as in terms of its structural stability, data sensitivity, and predictive ability
