Abstract: This study examines the relationship between union and organizational commitment among a sample of 1167 railroad employees from four of the seven largest Class I railroads in the U.S. Specifically, the study sought to determine whether union commitment and organizational commitment were contradictory, independent, or complementary forms of commitment. An examination of the association between union and organizational commitment on a variety of employee attitudes and work-related perceptions revealed the two forms of commitment to be independent. Results are discussed in light of the literature and the implications of each form of commitment on the rail industry.
