Chapter 12 in Young Workers and Trade Unions, 2015, pp 195-200 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract We end the book with a brief summary and some final thoughts. It is clear that trade unions need young workers to sustain their future existence in the context of a challenging political economy and an environment hostile to unionism (Gumbrell-McCormick, 2011; Gumbrell-McCormick and Hyman, 2013). Unions are losing members and bargaining power, while in many cases their membership suffers from an ageing effect and is mostly concentrated in the slow growth or declining sectors of the economy (Visser, 2006; Blanchflower, 2007).
