Abstract

Unions’ presence and influence in the United States continue to atrophy. One key reason for this decline is the difficulties in certifying via the National Labor Relations Act. Consequently, labor-oriented scholars have developed proposals to overhaul and/or supplement this process. One of the most far-reaching is the ‘Clean Slate’. We contend that, though a welcome advance, ‘Clean Slate’ is a necessary but insufficient law reform to revive unions. Accordingly, we suggest a complementary policy, the union default, to the ‘Clean Slate’. With a union default, ‘Clean Slate’ would produce a much swifter and more dramatic resurgence in union membership and resources, sparking a badly needed virtuous upward spiral.
“白纸黑字”能靠自己“做大”吗?Union Default的贡献
工会在美国的存在和影响力持续萎缩。这一比例下降的一个关键原因是很难通过《国家劳动关系法》(National Labor Relations Act)进行认证。因此,以劳动为导向的学者已经提出了对这一过程进行彻底检查和/或补充的建议。其中影响最深远的是“Clean Slate”。我们认为,虽然“Clean Slate”是一个受欢迎的进步,但它是必要的,但不足以重振工会的法律改革。因此,我们建议对“Clean Slate”采取一种补充政策,即工会默认。在工会违约的情况下,“Clean Slate”将使工会成员和资源的复苏速度更快、幅度更大,从而引发亟需的良性上升循环。
