Contract Negotiations

This paper presents new measures—by month, industry, and union—of the percentage of labor contract negotiations in the United States that result in a strike. The measures are derived from a single, comprehensive sample of 6,046 contract negotiations occurring in 1971–80 in bargaining units of 1,000 or more workers. These data are superior to those used in previous studies because they measure strike probabilities (or propensities) directly rather than by proxy. The data show that strikes occurred in 13.25 percent of all negotiations analyzed, but this strike rate varied substantially across years, industries, and unions.

Using Data

This paper investigates the determinants of “strike incidence and severity during labor contract negotiations. The author develops a model that considers the forces influencing both unions' willingness to strike and employers' willingness to take a strike, and estimates it using data describing 1,050 negotiations in U.S. manufacturing during the 1971–80 period. The results indicate that strike incidence is influenced by the gender composition of the labor force, demand fluctuations in the product market, location in a right-to-work state, the number of workers in the bargaining unit, union density in the industry, and the extent to which wages kept pace with inflation over the prior contract period. On the other hand, neither the local unemployment rate when negotiations began nor the inflation rate over the term of the expiring contract influenced strike incidence or severity in this sample.

Widespread Acceptance

In recent years, management responsibilities at the unit level have expanded considerably. In this evolution of the nurse-manager role, the importance of the planning process in the overall productivity and success of the unit has gained widespread acceptance. To meet the challenges of today's health care climate, the nurse manager and the unit staff must have a clear understanding of what our business is, what it should be, and finally, depending on the plans developed, what it will be.
