What are the main factors that lead workers to join unions?
✔✔4 Factors:
1) personal factors,
2) workplace factors,
,3) economic factors, and
4) societal factors.
A worker needs to have a pre-disposed opinion favourable to unions;
specific workplace conditions that trigger union desire must be present,
and the economic and political context must allow for the effective
expression of the desire.
Many see unions as a vehicle for increasing wages and benefits and
improving working conditions. However, the desire for a "voice" in the
workplace is equally important in the desire for unionization.
Workers want unions to increase their influence over the workplace, to
express their concerns to the employer, and to work with the employer to
improve the workplace generally. This may not seem self-evident initially,
but workers view unions as effective vehicles to enhance their voice in the
workplace and society (through political action and lobbying).
What was the primary position of the state towards unions before WWII?
✔✔The state was primarily against unions before WWII because the state
wanted to limit the power which
workers had and limit the power of the unions because if they gave power
or notice to unions then the
state and employers would have to negotiate better workdays and hours
with the employees which would
cost them money and time. But when workers started to riot and not
allow the government to shut them
down, they were making national change which was something the state
could not ignore so they started
to rework legislation to appease workers and more importantly unions.
, What factors finally led to the passing of PC 1003 in 1944?
✔✔Government attempted to limit the power of unions at the beginning
of WWII, but workers refused
because they wanted better wages and the unions to be recognized so
they went on strikes such as the
Kirkland Lake gold miner in 1941 which persuaded the government to
change its policies toward unions.
Finally, the legislation had to be reworked to give unions more
recognition and establish them as a real
industry so legally workplaces now had to negotiate with unions instead
of ignoring them before.
Why did the 1950's and 1960's witness significant union growth, and what
changed in the 1970's and 1980's to bring that growth to an end?
✔✔The war had just ended, and the economy was back on the rise,
unemployment had disappeared, and the
economy started to thrive again. As well as many issues pertaining to the
development and growth of
unions had stopped because federal and provincial labour legislation
allowed unions to develop without
any issues. In the 70's and 80's this growth started to halt because of
other markets in the world becoming
more dominant and overshadowing the north American market as well as
unemployment drastically
increasing and inflation within the economy.
How are unions today different than their pre-WWII ancestors? In what
ways are they the same?
