- Title
Impact of Sector Councils: A Canadian Institution.
- Authors
Gunderson, Morley
- Abstract
Sector Councils in Canada are a form of non-union representation that have been described as 'unique in the world' and they represent approximately half of the workforce in Canada. Their impact on 44 workplace and human resource practices of firms is estimated from a worker-firm matched data set, the Workplace and Employee Survey, for the years 1999-2006. Surprisingly, Sector Councils were significantly associated with positive outcomes for only 4 of the 44 outcome measures and with negative outcomes for 28 of the outcome measures, while 12 of the relationships were statistically insignificant. Possible explanations for this surprising result are provided.
