abstract: 'Purpose The purpose of this paper is twofold: first, to reassert the
|
|
|
|
persistent association of the decline in collective bargaining with the
|
|
|
|
increase in income inequality, the fall in the share of wages in
|
|
|
|
national income and deterioration in macroeconomic performance in the
|
|
|
|
UK; and second, to present case studies affirming concrete outcomes of
|
|
|
|
organisational collective bargaining for workers, in terms of pay, job
|
|
|
|
quality, working hours and work-life balance.
|
|
|
|
Design/methodology/approach The paper is based upon two methodological
|
|
|
|
approaches. First, econometric analyses using industry-level and
|
|
|
|
firm-level data for advanced and emerging economies testing the
|
|
|
|
relationship between declining union density, collective bargaining
|
|
|
|
coverage and the fall in the share of wages in national income. Second,
|
|
|
|
it reports on ten in-depth case studies of collective bargaining each
|
|
|
|
based upon analysis of collective bargaining agreements plus in-depth
|
|
|
|
interviews with the actors party to them: in total, 16 trade union
|
|
|
|
officers, 16 members and 11 employer representatives. Findings There is
|
|
|
|
robust evidence of the effects of different measures of bargaining power
|
|
|
|
on the labour share including union density, welfare state retrenchment,
|
|
|
|
minimum wages and female employment. The case studies appear to address
|
|
|
|
a legacy of deregulated industrial relations. A number demonstrate the
|
|
|
|
reinvigoration of collective bargaining at the organisational and
|
|
|
|
sectoral level, addressing the two-tier workforce and contractual
|
|
|
|
differentiation, alongside the consequences of government pay policies
|
|
|
|
for equality.
|
|
|
|
Originality/value The paper indicates that there may be limits to
|
|
|
|
employer commitment to deregulated employment relations. The emergence
|
|
|
|
of new or reinvigorated collective agreements may represent a concession
|
|
|
|
by employers that a ``free{''''}, individualised, deinstitutionalised,
|
|
|
|
precarious approach to industrial relations, based on wage suppression
|
|
|
|
and work intensification, is not in their interests in the long run.'
