Most of the respondents are inclined to organize
their own unions or participate in those organized
by dispatched work agencies or within
their user enterprises, probably because they do
not feel their jobs are insecure. Nevertheless, quite
a few respondents feel uncertain about whether it
is indeed helpful to organize or participate in a
labor union.
Survey on User Enterprise-based Labor
Unions
Sixty-two user enterprise-based labor unions
returned the questionnaires. Only 33 of them
have labor unions. Sixteen of the 33 enterprises
(49.9%) belong to the tertiary industry, while another
40.3 percent are manufacturers. The rest are
engaged in construction and farming industries. A
membership of 500 is used as a criterion to determine
the size of labor unions. 7 Small-sized labor
unions account for the largest proportion.
The questions asked are listed in the table
below.
7 Usually, there is no such a criterion, but for the purpose
of analysis three ranges including five hundred
and below, five hundred and one to one thousand,
and one thousand and one and above were being used
to determine the size of labor unions.
