Diversification and win rate in NLRB certifications elections

Article Abstract:

This research examined industrial diversification patterns and win rates within the 1977-1979, 1983-1985 and 1992-1994 periods for all NLRB certification elections of the 30 most active unions in 1977-1979. We found significant change in diversification and little change in average win rates over the study period. The general trend was less total diversification and more unrelated diversification in 1992-1994 relative to 1983-1985 and 1977-1979. Total diversification had a significant positive influence on union win rates for elections recorded outside unions core organizing industries. (Reprinted with permission by author.)

Union PAC contributions and legislative voting

Article Abstract:

Are union PACs able to affect legislative voting patterns with campaign contributions? Unlike previous studies addressing this question, this work measures the likelihood of a legislator supporting union (AFL-CIO) issues instead of isolating specific bills for study. Furthermore, the influence of union PAC money in both congressional chambers is examined. The results are mixed: apparently, organized labor has been able to influence labor legislation with campaign money in some election cycles, but in others, they are less effective.
