British Social Attitudes Survey, 1983-1998 : Employment Data

The aims of the project were:<br> to develop knowledge and understanding of the changing role of trades unions in the workplace, as perceived by employees;<br> in particular, to establish the influence trade unions have on workplace governance, and how this may have changed over time, identifying factors associated with better and worse governance;<br> to produce policy interpretations of the main findings so as to inform the policy debate surrounding the 'Fairness at Work' White Paper and the new statutory procedures for union recognition.<br> The data are items relating to employment taken from the British Social Attitudes Surveys (BSA), 1983-1998, plus a number of derived variables. Care has been taken to produce variables that are consistent across the series. The original BSA datasets are all held at the UK Data Archive - see under GN:33168.
