Title: | The cost and benefits model of union membership | Authors: | Chew, Soon Beng Chew, Rosalind Seow Lung |
Keywords: | DRNTU::Social sciences::Economic theory::Macroeconomics | Issue Date: | 2001 | Source: | Chew, S. B., & Chew, R. S. L. (2001). The Cost and Benefits Model of Union Membership. International Employment Relations Review, 7(1), 1-8. | Series/Report no.: | International employment relations review | Abstract: | This paper argues that, where workers can free-ride to enjoy union benefits without becoming members of trade unions, the labour movement must use non-collective bargaining benefits to entice workers to join unions. Specifically, the paper uses non-collective bargaining benefits as a prize to entice workers to join unions and also examines the supply of non-collective bargaining benefits of the labour movement. Based on the demand and supply curves, the number of workers joining the unions can then be determined and policy recommendations will also be discussed. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/10356/95811 http://hdl.handle.net/10220/11775 |
