Union density finally stabilising? - 21/03/2006 22:17
Anyone got any thoughts on the significance or otherwise of the slight increase in union density reported last week? (http://www.tuc.org.uk/organisation/tuc-11579-f0.cfm).
This is the second year in the last three which has seen a slight increase, and although these increases are within the margin of error, they do seem to suggest that unions are beginning (very slowly) to turn a significant corner.
Prior to 2003 density fell even when membership increased. My take on things is that these figures seem to suggest that unions are now at least holding steady in the private sector. Not that this leaves us any room for complacency, but nice to have a good news story for a change!
