Union density (original) (raw)
The union density or union membership rate conveys the number of trade union members who are employees as a percentage of the total number of employees in a given industry or country. This is normally lower than collective agreement coverage rate, which refers to all people whose terms of work are collectively negotiated. Trade unions bargain with employers to improve pay, conditions, and decision-making in workplaces; higher rates of union density within an industry or country will generally indicate higher levels of trade union bargaining power, lower rates of density will indicate less bargaining power.

This is normally lower than collective agreement coverage rate, which refers to all people whose terms of work are collectively negotiated. Trade unions bargain with employers to improve pay, conditions, and decision-making in workplaces; higher rates of union density within an industry or country will generally indicate higher levels of trade union bargaining power, lower rates of density will indicate less bargaining power. (en) De syndicalisatiegraad is het aandeel werknemers aangesloten bij een vakbond. In landen, sectoren en bedrijven met een hoge syndicalisatiegraad hebben de werknemers en hun vakbond een grotere onderhandelingsmacht, wat leidt tot hogere lonen en betere werkomstandigheden. De landen met de hoogste syndicalisatiegraad zijn Finland (80,8% in 2013), IJsland (79%), Zweden (~70%), Denemarken (67,3% in 2018) en België (53% in 2016). In deze landen zijn vakbonden verantwoordelijk voor de uitbetaling van werkloosheidsuitkeringen (het zogenaamde Gents systeem), wat een positieve impact heeft op de syndicalisatiegraad. Sinds eind 20e eeuw daalt het aandeel gesyndicaliseerde werknemers in de meeste ontwikkelde landen, ten dele door de teloorgang van banen in de industrie (waar vakbonden traditioneel sterk staan), ten dele door wetgeving, zoals de right to work-wetgeving in de Verenigde Staten. Lagere syndicalisatie wordt gelinkt aan stijgende inkomensongelijkheid. (nl) |
