摘要

工会法》（2016 年）规定，在英国，要使罢工合法化，除了罢工行动要获得多数票外，现在还必须达到 "至少 50%"的投票率。我们对投票的相关因素知之甚少，对工会罢工投票中投票或弃权的决定更是知之甚少。我们利用在 2019 年全国薪资罢工投票后不久对公共和商业服务工会（PCS）成员进行的大规模调查，填补了这一空白。结果显示，争议焦点（薪酬）与促使参与投票的不满（工作条件）之间存在脱节。我们发现，那些没有在罢工投票中投票的人并非中立或未做决定，而是在很多情况下反对罢工行动。我们的研究结果还证明了工会内部沟通对参与罢工投票的重要性。

Why Do So Many People Not Vote? Correlates of Participation in Trade Union Strike Ballots

The Trade Union Act (2016) stipulates that in order for a strike to be lawful it must now achieve a turnout of ‘at least 50 per cent’ in addition to a majority vote for strike action in the UK. We know remarkably little about the correlates of voting and even less about the decision to vote or abstain in union strike ballots. We address this gap, drawing from a large-scale survey of Public and Commercial Services Union (PCS) members administered shortly after their 2019 national pay strike ballot. Results show a disconnect between the focus of the dispute (pay) and the grievances that motivated participation in the ballot (working conditions). We find that those who do not vote in strike ballots are not neutral or undecided, but are, in many cases, opposed to strike action. Our findings also demonstrate the importance of internal union communication to participation in strike ballots.

期刊介绍： Work, Employment and Society (WES) is a leading international peer reviewed journal of the British Sociological Association which publishes theoretically informed and original research on the sociology of work. Work, Employment and Society covers all aspects of work, employment and unemployment and their connections with wider social processes and social structures. The journal is sociologically orientated but welcomes contributions from other disciplines which addresses the issues in a way that informs less debated aspects of the journal"s remit, such as unpaid labour and the informal economy.
