Atypical Work and Trade Union Membership: Union Attitudes and Union Turnover among Traditional vs Atypically Employed Union Members

Using data from three European countries (Sweden, Italy and the Netherlands), this study compares full-time and part-time as well as permanent and temporary employed trade union members on several union attitudes (commitment, support, trust, instrumentality and satisfaction) and union turnover intention. It was hypothesized that union attitudes would be less positive, and union turnover intentions would be higher among atypically employed members (part-timers and temporary workers). However, only few differences between full-timers and part-timers and between permanent and temporary workers were found, and the differences that did emerge were not consistent across samples. Moreover, the results revealed no differences between traditional and atypical workers in union turnover intention. In view of these findings, the authors discuss some of the practical and research implications.
