Is job satisfaction is impacted upon by union membership?
Professor Andy Charlwood has written the latest CERIC Blog titled ”Do unions make us unhappy? Probably not.”
“It is a well-established research finding that union members in a number of countries, including Britain, the USA and France, tend to be more dissatisfied with their jobs than non-members. The American economists who originally observed this phenomenon thought that it was because unions induce their members to complain about aspects of the employment relationship and this union-induced complaining reduces job satisfaction.”
