“…Examples of such are Sawyer (1973), Hood andRees (1974), Mayhew (1976), Mulvey (1976), Wabe and Leech (1978), Hart and Clarke (1980), Clarke (1983) and Stewart (1983a). At the same time there are also some precedents for the inclusion of a union~tion/coverage variables, for instance, Pencave (1974), Mulvey and Foster (1976), Layard et al (1978), Mulvey and Abowd (1980) and Blanchflower (1984b).…”

“…It is also, to some extent, a result of the use of very different measures of unionization. Hood and Rees (1974) used the number of working days lost through strikes per thousand employees, which is a measure of union activity rather than of union power.6 Stewart (1983a) estimated union and nonunion wage equations based upon union membership, whereas the remaining studies used the proportion of workers in an industry covered by collective agreements (Mulvey, 1976;Wabe and Leech, 1978) or its inverse, the proportion not so covered (Hart and Clarke, 1980;Clarke, 1983). The paper utilizes a new and preferable measure of unionization -the recognition of manual unions at the workplace for purposes of bargaining over pay and conditions.…”

Reports on an attempt to test the applicability of Kwoka's propositions to skilled and semi-skilled manual workers in British manufacturing in 1980, using data at the level of the establishment. There are a number of important differences between the USA and the UK which made direct comparisons between the two sets of results very difficult, eg where, by virtue of its smaller market, an equivalent British industry tends to be more highly concentrated than its American counterpart, and thus the average level of concentration tends to be greater in Great Britain than in the US. Offsetting this, however, is the sensitivity of British manufacturing to overseas competition, and the rapid decline it has experienced over the last decade. Indeed, since 1975 its has lost around 2 million workers or around 25% of its total workforce

“…Firstly, Price and Bain (1976) show that over the period 1948-74 trade union membership among white collar workers generally has been relatively low, varying between 30 and 39% as against 50 to 58% for manual workers. This suggests that the 'autonomous' effect of white collar unions may be comparatively weak just as, for example, in Mulvey and Foster's (1976) study the straight union versus non-union wage differential is stronger for manual only groups of trade union members compared with those including professional and managerial employees.…”
