Abstract

The issue of rank-and-file membership participation in the affairs of their trade union has received little attention in Australia. In this paper we focus on possible correlates of such participation. Based on a questionnaire survey of members of a public sector union (N=752) we devise three measures of participation and assess the contribution of a range of personal, job-related and union-related factors to participation levels.
