摘要

本研究调查了采用 "工作权 "对向全国劳资关系委员会提出的不公平劳动行为指控的影响。大多数指控都与工会选举有关，预计在 "工作权 "制度下工会选举会减少。然而，本研究的合成控制法结果表明，不公平劳动行为的发生率和成功率趋势一般不受 "准工作权 "法案的影响。这些稳定的申诉率和成功率的背后是一种资源密集型战略，即联合会与其成员合作进行指控。利用密歇根州和印第安纳州（两州均于 2012 年通过了 "准工作权 "法案）的案例，以及 2000 年至 2019 年期间提出的所有指控的独特数据集，我证明了法律动员是工会活动中的一项，在 "准工作权 "法案下，工会和联合会都会对其进行调整，以保护工人。

The Effect of Right-to-Work on Unfair Labor Practice Charges: Synthetic Control Evidence From Indiana and Michigan

This study investigates the effect of adopting right-to-work on unfair labor practice charges filed at the National Labor Relations Board. Most charges accompany union elections, which are expected to decrease under right-to-work. However, this work's synthetic control method results show that unfair labor practice trends in rates and success are generally unaffected by right-to-work adoption. Underlying these stable rates of filing and success is a more resource-intensive strategy where federations collaborate on charges with their constituent members. Using the cases of Michigan and Indiana, which both adopted right-to-work in 2012 and a unique dataset of all charges filed from 2000 to 2019, I show that legal mobilization is one union activity that adjusts under right-to-work as unions and federations look to protect workers.

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.
