Abstract
Are you an active member, the kind that would be missed? Or are you just contented, that your name is on the list? Do you attend the meetings, and mingle with the flock? Or do you stay at home to criticize and knock? Do you ever go to visit with a member who is sick? Or leave the work to just a few and talk about the clique? Think this over, member-you know right from wrong? Are you an active member, or do you just belong? (Attributed by Perline & Lorenz to an anonymous union member) Throughout this book we have concentrated on the psychological process of individual attachment to labor unions. This process formally starts with the individual’s decision to join a union. Influences on this decision have been traced back to family socialization. The process continues with the development of affective attitudes of attachment to the union (union commitment), and results in the behavioral participation of members in various union activities. If union commitment is a crucial attitudinal component for unions to function effectively, union participation is an equally important contributor to “the very fabric of unions” (Gordon et al., 1980, p. 480). Union participation is also central to union democracy (Pateman, 1970), and to transforming social institutions and restraining union bureaucracy (Nicholson, Ursell, & Blyton, 1981 b).
