Compulsory Unionism and the AWIRS: Redrawing the Map

Mark Wooden

The Economic and Labour Relations Review, 1992, vol. 3, issue 2, 181-199

Abstract: This paper uses AWIRS data to examine two related questions. First, how extensive are closed shop arrangements in Australia and second, what factors are associated with closed shop coverage? The paper draws heavily on earlier work by Gianni Zappala, but argues that Zappala's estimates substantially overstated the extent of the closed shop. Moreover, unlike other studies of the closed shop (both in Australia and overseas), this paper utilises multivariate techniques to isolate the impact of the different factors thought to be associated with closed shop coverage.
