Resumo:This article examines labor unions decline in the United States over the period 1980-2015, using union density rates as the main indicator to measure labor union representation in the employed labor force. The analysis relies on an analytical framework which classifies the factors accounting for union decline in cyclical, structural and political-institutional. Similarly, unionization trends are contrasted between the United States and other developed countries; a notable divergence is detected. The results show that union decline in the U.S. has been determined mostly by institutions regulating the labor system than by economic globalization.
