Abstract

White-collar workers present special problems both to unions and to managements. Unions find it hard not only to organize but also to service a white-collar group. Managements, accustomed though they may be to dealing with organized factory groups, find white-collar unionism confusing and even threatening. What makes white-collar unions behave so differently? These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
