Abstract: The hypothesis is that this analysis will show that there is a positive correlation between unionization and the view that there is no conflict between workers and management. This result may help dispel the view that unions are a source of conflict in the workplace, and not just a vehicle for expressing discontent. This hypothesis builds off of the union voice hypothesis, which suggests that unions provide workers an outlet to voice their concerns, resolve issues in the workplace, and increase cooperation between workers and management (Deery, Buttigieg, & Zatzick, 2014) (Gordon & Ladd 1990).
