The Outlook for Union Growth

Abstract

The probability is very small indeed for a sig nificant spurt in trade-union membership in the near future. The principal forces capable of generating such growth are largely beyond the control of the unions, and there seems to be very little likelihood that these forces will, on their own, assume a form conducive to rapid growth in the foreseeable future. The one element which is within the control of labor —the strategy and tactics of organizing—cannot by itself insure a wave of unionization. Moreover, much of the labor leadership does not seem to have displayed adequate drive and ingenuity in this activity.
