Federal-Employee Unions and Political Action

Author

Listed:
  • Marick F. Masters

Abstract

This study examines the political role of the three largest nonpostal unions in the federal sector between 1977 and 1981. The author shows that although these unions engaged in a variety of electoral and lobbying pursuits, their commitment of resources to political action has been surprisingly modest. Moreover, despite legislative records that are numerically impressive, these unions suffered serious defeats on several important issues during the period studied.
