Abstract
In concluding a recent analysis of the conditions for trade union wage restraint, Colin Crouch asks ‘what neocorporatist unions gain for their members in exchange for restraint?’. An attempt to answer this question is made, first by examining a range of policy outcomes which may be regarded as measures of possible union gains, and, second, by analyzing the problem in terms of indexes measuring possible trade‐offs between union objectives. It is suggested that an analysis in these latter terms offers a far more cogent explanation of trade union wage restraint than can be provided by looking at policy outcome measures separately.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
