Abstract
Explores the recruitment and organizing experience of trade unions. Draws on in‐depth interviews with union full‐time officials and on the Workplace Industrial Relations Surveys (WIRS). Describes the experience of union recruitment, and evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of various forms of recruitment campaigns, in which unions had little success in extending organization.
