Abstract

Abstract From the end of the Second World War until the late 1960s, the proportion of the employed population in the United Kingdom who were union members remained around the 40 per cent mark. Between 1969 and 1979, this proportion rose to an all-time peak of 53 per cent. Subsequently, union membership has declined to the rates which prevailed in the 1945–69 period. A variety of explaanations has been proposed to account for this growth and decline in trade union membership.
