Abstract

An inappropriate pessimism dominates discussions of the future of unions. Yes, union density is falling in the private sector and union influence is falling in Britain and many other countries. And, yes, the finances of many unions are shaky. But some unions are responding to their difficulties by undertaking innovations using the internet that have the potential to improve union services and lower costs to members.
