For Labour Day 2003 the National Post published a series of articles gloating over the travails of the Canadian labour movement (Brieger 2003; Corcoran 2003; Milhar 2003a and b). The articles reported on a poll commissioned by the notoriously anti-union Union Watch but conducted by Leger Marketing. The Post claimed, among many other things disturbing to unions, that organised labour’s share of Canadian workers had dropped dramatically from the 1970s, that a large majority of non-union employees did not want a union and that only about 1⁄4 of union members are “very satisfied” with their union’s representation of their interests. Many of the poll questions and much of the Post’s analysis were driven by antipathy to unions, it is true. The poll results do not always support the conclusions that the Post draws. It is also interesting to note that among union members polled, 81% want to stay in their unions (the exact same proportion of nonunionists who reject unions). An earlier poll by Americans Richard Freeman and Joel Rogers (1999) calls some of the Canadian results into question. In their American poll, the authors found 32% of non-union employees would choose a union. Does this make Canadians more anti-union than Americans? More importantly, Freeman and Rogers found a powerful desire among workers for representation of their interests in the workplace. Over half of the workers polled wanted more influence in their workplace than they actually had.1 Whether such influence could be achieved through unions or not is a challenge to unions. DEBATES
