Union Corporate Campaigns

The authors examine 28 labor disputes occurring during the period 1976-88 in which the unions involved publicly declared they conducted "corporate campaigns." They distinguish three types of campaigns -complements to traditional organizing drives, complements to strikes, and substitutes for strikes-and argue that fundamental differences among these campaigns result in different prospects for success. Organizing-related campaigns, they find, were more likely to yield gains for the union than were bargaining-related campaigns. Strike complement campaigns resulted in the largest number of unequivocal failures; and several strike substitute campaigns appear to have played only limited roles in achieving contract settlements
