本文探讨了集体，成员为基础的雇主协会在英国，规范通过参与集体谈判的雇佣关系。主要的经验贡献是，第一次，在英国的雇主协会的纵向数据集。我们使用英国政府认证办公室的档案数据来构建一个新的数据集，确定1976年至2013-2014年间雇主协会数量下降了81%。我们还发现，政治机构和集体谈判水平的降低，削弱了雇主协会，减少雇主的激励措施，以联营，虽然在英国的制度的雇佣关系的变化，使其他类型的集体雇主组织生存。
This article examines the collective, member-based employers’ associations in the UK that regulate the employment relationship by participating in collective bargaining. The main empirical contribution is to provide, for the first time, a longitudinal dataset of employers’ associations in the UK. We use archival data from the UK Government’s Certification Office to build a new dataset, identifying a decline of 81% in the number of employers’ associations between 1976 and 2013–2014. We also find that political agency and reducing levels of collective bargaining undermined employers’ associations by reducing employers’ incentives to associate, although changes within the UK’s system of employment relations enabled other types of collective employer organisation to survive.
