Unionization and Small Business

Inc.:

Few entrepreneurs, of course, are going to follow Sidhu and encourage their employees to unionize, but like it or not, more and more are going to be dealing with collective bargaining. True, union membership as a whole continues to decline. But groups active in professional and service industries are booming, their ranks swelled by workers who fear increased health insurance costs and the outsourcing of jobs to Asia. IT staffers, graphic designers, and engineers — this is the new face of labor. And guess where many of them work? The average workplace organized last year had just 53 workers.

“More attention is being paid to smaller workplaces,” says Bob Bruno, a labor and industrial relations professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago, who adds that “organized labor has a higher success rate in small businesses.” There are several reasons for this. Labor activists have discovered that unlike large corporations, small businesses often lack the resources and the know-how to fight unionization. Plus, their employees are are often more receptive to organization because union reps can make a personal, individual appeal for their support.
