Local Government Labor Relations in Nonmetropolitan Areas

摘要

Local governments with labor relations policies increased from 14 percent in 1972 to 17 percent in 1979. The number of labor agreements increased faster. The number of full-time employees with memberships in employee organizations increased during the period, but the percentage of employees belonging to organizations decreased to just over 50 percent. With few exceptions, a larger percentage of employees were members of employee organizations in metropolitan than in nonmetropolitan areas regardless of year or geographic region.
