Abstract: Private sector unionization drives have recently increased after decades of decline. Previous research largely focused on predictors of unionization internal to firms. In this study, we use historical data from 1986 to 2017 in Alabama to show that racial distribution in the surrounding county also influences the likelihood of successful unionization votes.
