Abstract

During the 1980s the trade union movement experienced greatly reduced membership, reduced influence with government and in society generally, and greatly reduced bargaining power vis-à-vis employers. The environment in which unions had to operate was the crucial cause of their problems, although this is not to say that there were not deficiencies in union organisation, policies and behaviour which contributed.
