Abstract

The local union must influence — and in turn is influenced by — not only its working-class constituency and other unions, but also a third group: management. This group is clearly the most important target of the union, in that unless the union can extract (or be widely perceived as extracting) sufficient benefits from management, workers will view the union as ineffective. Lack of worker support for a given union implies, in turn, weakness of that union in competing (or co-operating) with other unions. Extracting benefits from management is no easy matter, however, given the state of ideological warfare that has traditionally existed between labour and management.
