Organizational Strategy and Environment: A Pilot Study to Collect Disaggregate Data on American Labor Unions 1905-2005

组织战略和环境：一项收集1905- 2005年美国工会分类数据的试点研究主要研究者：Caleb Southwestern机构：俄勒冈大学尤金分校智力优势：这是一个试点项目，旨在评估收集1905年至2005年美国所有国家工会信息的数据集的可行性。这些数据将从美国几个研究图书馆的档案文件中收集，基于美国所有工会人口的10%分层随机抽样。将收集工会成员、合并、分裂、新开工、解散、雇主反对和大规模罢工的年度数据。还将定期收集有关工会政府和结构、组织工作、管辖权纠纷、袭击、工会领导人的政治、领导人更替、选举的接近程度和官员工资的信息。通过就业、失业、劳动力的性别和种族构成等职业特征的数据，对不同工会活动的行业进行评估。更广泛的影响：该项目最重要的影响是，它将提供一个数据集，使研究人员能够分析国家和国际工会的人口，而不是汇总到工会联合会一级的数据。 这将允许对工会增长，冲突和变化的决定因素和后果进行更详细和细致的分析。

Organizational Strategy and Environment: A Pilot Study to Collect Disaggregate Data on American Labor Unions 1905-2005Principal Investigator: Caleb SouthworthInstitution: University of Oregon-EugeneIntellectual Merit:This is a pilot project to assess the feasibility of collecting a dataset containing information on all national labor unions that existed in the United States between 1905 and 2005. The data will be collected from archival documents in several research libraries around the U.S., based on a 10% stratified random sample of the population of all U.S. unions. Annual data will be collected on union membership, mergers, splits, new starts, dissolutions, employer opposition and large strikes. Periodic information on union government and structure, organizing efforts, jurisdictional disputes, raiding, politics of union leaders, leadership turnover, closeness of elections, and officer salaries will also be collected. The industries in which different unions operate will be assessed with data on employment, unemployment, and occupational characteristics, such as the gender and racial composition of the workforce.Broader Impacts:The most significant broader impact of this project is that it will provide a dataset that allows researchers to analyze the population of national and international unions rather than data aggregated to the union federation level. This will allow for more detailed and nuanced analyses of the determinants and consequences of union growth, conflict, and change.
