A Model of Individual Demand for Unionism

During the history of the trade unions movement in the United States, there have been cyclical variations around a generally upward trend in membership. Over the past twenty years, however, the proportion of the labor force that are union members has declined while absolute levels of membership have increased at very slow rates. This seeming stagnation of an historical trend makes inquisition into current individual motives for union preference a relevant area of research, as aggregate union growth is a reflection of a composite of individual behavior.
