Studies of nonworker organizations -- 2. Studies of membership-based initiatives -- 3. New union opportunities and initiatives. 330 $aPrivate sector unionism is in decline in the United States. As a result, labor advocates, community groups, nongovernmental organizations, and individuals concerned with the well-being of workers have sought to develop alternative ways to represent workers' interests. Emerging Labor Market Institutions for the Twenty-First Century provides the first in-depth assessment of how effectively labor market institutions are responding to this drastically altered landscape. This important volume provides case studies of new labor market institutions and new directions for existing institutions. The contributors examine the behavior and impact of new organizations that have formed to solve workplace problems and to bolster the position of workers. They also document how unions employ new strategies to maintain their role in the economic system. While non-union institutions are unlikely to fill the gap left by the decline of unions, the findings suggest that emerging groups and unions might together improve some dimensions of worker well-being. Emerging Labor Market Institutions is the story of workers and institutions in flux, searching for ways to represent labor in the new century. 410 0$aNational Bureau of Economic Research conference report. 606 $aLabor market 606 $aLabor unions 606 $aIndustrial relations 606 $aWhite collar workers 606 $aWork environment 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLabor market. 615 0$aLabor unions. 615 0$aIndustrial relations. 615 0$aWhite collar workers. 615 0$aWork environment. 676 $a331 701 $aFreeman$b Richard B$g(Richard Barry),$f1943-$0118990 701 $aHersch$b Joni$f1956-$0886735 701 $aMishel$b Lawrence R$0143824 712 02$aNational Bureau of Economic Research. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450879403321 996 $aEmerging labor market institutions for the twenty-first century$91980386 997 $aUNINA
