Abstract
The findings of a survey of full-time union officials are discussed. It is suggested that there are two segments in the labour market for union officials. The first, the traditional, operates as an internal labour market and remains the principal method of selection for the occupations of organizer and executive officers. The second segment represents recent changes in the staffing of large unions. It consists of salaried experts who, unlike the traditional officers, are generally not recruited from within the ranks of the union. Not only is their pattern of recruitment different but they also have attitudes and expectations quite different from the traditional officials.
