Evidence of Trade Union Membership and Expectations at a Scottish University
International Journal of Business and Applied Social Science, 2020Co-Authors: Theresa Marie MajeedAbstract:This work presents insights on Trade Union Member employees’ expectations of Union Membership and its association with their perceptions of job dissatisfaction at a Scottish university. For over five decades, employees in Trade Unions have reported higher levels of dissatisfaction with their jobs than non-Unionized employees in studies from different countries. The question of Trade Union Membership and job dissatisfaction remains open to inquiry because previous studies used quantitative analyses, yet industrial relations scholars still do not possess a salient explanation for why the phenomenon exists. In contrast to those studies, this work used a qualitative approach of 23 interviews with Trade Union Member employees. The results of the present work contribute to an area in need of data, as the expectations of Trade Union Membership presented here were gathered from a diverse group of Trade Union Member employees to which contemporary Trade Unions are focusing their recruitment efforts.

Evidence on Trade Union Members’ Dissatisfaction with Inequalities at a Scottish University
International Journal of Business and Applied Social Science, 2020Co-Authors: Theresa Marie MajeedAbstract:The present paper includes insights on Trade Union Members’ perceptions of job dissatisfaction related to inequalities at a Scottish university. Research spanning more than five decades has consistently shown that Trade Union Member employees report higher levels of job dissatisfaction than non-Union employees, although industrial relations scholars have been unable to agree on as to why that is the case. Prior research of Trade Union Membership and its link to job dissatisfaction has largely been quantitative. The present study therefore added much needed, individual-level insights to the industrial relations literature through its use of a qualitative approach that included interviews with 23 individuals. This research is part of a wider project in which Trade Union Membership and job dissatisfaction were explored, and that led to the author being awarded a PhD from the University of St. Andrews in the United Kingdom.

Is There a Human Right Not to Be a Trade Union Member
2010Co-Authors: V MantouvalouAbstract:This piece examines the protection of labour rights in the context of civil and political rights documents and explores the compatibility of closed shop arrangements with human rights law. It contributes to the relevant debates in two ways. First, it seeks to examine how the integrated approach to interpretation, a method increasingly preferred by the European Court of Human Rights when examining work-related complaints, affects the regulation of closed shops. Second, it attempts to resolve the apparent tension between individual rights and the collective interests of labour that is commonly articulated in both the case law and the academic literature. The paper suggests that, contrary to a widely held understanding, civil and labour rights share common values. Through the example of closed shops it is argued that the rights of workers and their Unions can be enhanced rather than harmed by an effective and principled human rights regime.

Is there a human right not to be a Trade Union Member?: labour rights under the European Convention on Human Rights
LSE Research Online Documents on Economics, 2007Co-Authors: V MantouvalouAbstract:This paper examines the protection of labour rights in the context of civil and political rights documents and explores the compatibility of closed shop arrangements with human rights law. It contributes to the relevant debates in two ways. First, it seeks to examine how the “integrated approach” to interpretation, a method increasingly preferred by the European Court of Human Rights when examining work-related complaints, affects the regulation of closed shops. Second, it attempts to resolve the apparent tension between individual rights and the collective interests of labour that is commonly articulated in both the case law and the academic literature. The paper suggests that, contrary to a widely held understanding, civil and labour rights share common values. Through the example of closed shops it is argued that the rights of workers and their Unions can be enhanced rather than harmed by an effective and principled human rights regime.

Jurassic Union Man? A Profile of the British Trade Union Member
Labour, 1998Co-Authors: Sarah Brown, John G. SessionsAbstract:This paper examines the determinants of Trade Union Membership in Great Britain utilising micro-data taken from the British Social Attitudes Survey over the period 1985–91. Our results suggest that, contrary to previous micro-studies, personal characteristics and the perceptions of workers' attitudes as regards their working environment impact significantly upon the decision to join a Trade Union. Moreover, it would appear that the Union Membership decision is becoming increasingly endogenised, especially in the case of the white-collar worker.

Discussions on the Award of the Trade Union in China——Thinking for Studying the Trade Union Law
Journal of Tianjin Trade Union Administrators' College, 2004Co-Authors: Ren JinAbstract:The group of the Communist Party of China and the staff and workers and masses are the main body of the willpower of the Trade Union rights, and the Trade Union Committee is the main body of exercising the Trade Union rights, and the Trade Union Member Conference only plays the function of the medium, and we should entrust the Trade Union Members with the right to exercise the rights granted by the willpower main body.
