What accounts for this upsurge in unionization among clerical workers?First, more women have entered the work force in the past few years, and moreof them plan to remain working until retirement age. Consequently, they areprobably more concerned than their predecessors were about job security andeconomic benefits. Also, the women’s movement has succeeded in legitimizing theeconomic and political activism of women on their own behalf, thereby producinga more positive attitude toward unions. The absence of any comparable increasein unionization among private-sector clerical workers, however, identifies theprimary catalyst—the structural change in the multi-occupational public-sectorunions themselves. Over the past twenty years, the occupational distribution inthese unions has been steadily shifting from predominantly blue-collar topredominantly white-collar. Because there are far more women in white-collarjobs, an increase in the proportion of female members has accompanied theoccupational shift and has altered union policy-making in favor of organizingwomen and addressing women’s issues.
