Abstract

Bargaining structure commonly means the size and scope of organisations engaged in collective bargaining. Arrangements vary from the highly decentralised, where the organisation of a single skill bargains with each and every employer of that skill in turn, to the highly centralised, where a federation of employers bargains with a federation of employees. The first is quite common in North America, while the second is common in Scandinavian countries. In relation to the United States, John T. Dunlop wrote: “Perhaps the most significant characteristic of the American collective-bargaining system is that it is highly decentralised.”1
