Abstract
The primary purpose of this study was to determine the proportion with which major types of economic clauses differ in collective bargaining contracts in the private, public and health organizations. The sample comprised 96 randomly drawn union members from the private, public and health organizations who completed a short-structured questionnaire. The results revealed that differences existed among the 96 contracts in the degree to which they contained the four cohort economic contract clauses. The highest percentage of union members ranked “early retirement and noncontributory pension programs” as the most important contract economic clause, and the vast majority of the union members were not satisfied with their unions’ performances. The study concludes that the union members’ low rating of unions’ performances is attributed to the disparity between major economic contract clauses contained in contracts and the items members perceived as important.
