Edward Davis: University of New South Wales. This paper is drawn from my thesis, Decision-making and Democracy in Australian Trade Unions: A Comparative Study (PhD thesis, La Trobe University, 1982). My thanks to the six unions who cooperated in the study, to Professor Ross Martin for his most helpful supervision, and to Vic Taylor for his assistance with the final draft of the paper.

Abstract: This paper reports on aspects of the decision-making process within the management committees of six unions. The following issues are explored: the extent to which a democratic climate prevails within the meetings; the differences and similarities in the experience of large and small unions; and the differences and similarities in the experience of white and blue collar unions.
