캐나다의 복수노조 사례 -노조 간 조직경쟁의 배경과 전개과정, 그리고 결과-

This study examines dual unionism and union competition in Canada by literature review and interviews of its subject-matter experts. Dual unionism does not exist at a bargaining unit of firm, but beyond it due to exclusive representations in Canada. Canadian unions have had stronger inter-union competitions for several reasons: Organizing national unions separately out of international unions dominated by the American counterparts, small sizes of Canadian unions and their efforts to get economy of scale, active unionization efforts based on favorable institutional and political circumstances, and the weak regulation of union competition by Canadian Labor Congress. The strong union competitions have facilitated inter-union militancy competition and thus have strengthened union functions like improving working conditions, relatively high unionization rate, and the frequency of strikes. On the other hand, the union competitions have increased independent unions and thus have helped yield a fragmented structure of unions in Canada. Finally the results of this study are summarized and interpreted, and a theoretical model of dual unionism and the implications of the study results are discussed.
