Abstract

Voting behavior in union representation elections is influenced by rational and non-rational choices alike. This study shows a correlation between one nonrational choice, political partisanship, and such voting behavior. Comparing general election support for Democratic U.S. Presidential nominees where union representation elections occurred—a proxy for political partisanship—with support for a union in those representation elections shows positive, highly statistically significant correlations between Democratic support and union support in every consecutive twelve-month period between the 2008 and 2020 general elections. Furthermore, between 2008 and 2020, the magnitude of this correlation increased to a statistically significant degree.

政治党派和工会代表选举

工会代表选举中的投票行为既受理性选择的影响，也受非理性选择的影响。本研究显示了一种非理性选择（政治党派性）与这种投票行为之间的相关性。将大选中民主党美国总统提名人在工会代表选举中的支持率（政治党派性的代表）与工会在这些代表选举中的支持率进行比较，结果显示，在 2008 年至 2020 年的大选期间，民主党的支持率与工会的支持率在每个连续的 12 个月期间都存在正相关，且在统计上非常显著。此外，在 2008 年至 2020 年期间，这种相关性的程度在统计意义上显著增加。

期刊介绍： The Labor Studies Journal is the official journal of the United Association for Labor Education and is a multi-disciplinary journal publishing research on work, workers, labor organizations, and labor studies and worker education in the US and internationally. The Journal is interested in manuscripts using a diversity of research methods, both qualitative and quantitative, directed at a general audience including union, university, and community based labor educators, labor activists and scholars from across the social sciences and humanities. As a multi-disciplinary journal, manuscripts should be directed at a general audience, and care should be taken to make methods, especially highly quantitative ones, accessible to a general reader.
