Union mergers and the integration of union governing structures

Union mergers may require varying degrees of integration of union governing structures. Union amalgamations can range from complete fusions of the unions at all levels, to moderate integration, to the establishment of federated structures. Union absorptions, the alternative merger type, can entail complete and immediate absorptions, the formation of semi-autonomous divisions, and absorption through affiliation. The paper presents an examination of post-merger governing structures and a review of the factors associated with different degrees of integration.

A Note on Union Merger Trends, 1900 – 1978

This paper examines 143 union mergers that have occurred since the turn of the century, identifying the frequency and forms of mergers (106 absorptions and 37 amalgamations) and the affiliations of merger partners. The data for three broad time periods and for five-year intervals indicate, among other trends, a long-term decline in the proportion of amalgamations and an increase in merger activity since the formation of the AFL-CIO in 1955. The author also discusses the frequency and forms of mergers between affiliates of the AFL, CIO, AFL-CIO, and unaffiliated unions.
