Description: 

This paper reviews and analyzes the patterns of union membership among Mexican-born workers over the decade from 1994-2004. Survey data suggest that immigrants, and Latinos in particular, are more positive in their attitude toward unionism than most native-born workers (with the exception of African-Americans). There is no systematic source of data on the range of organizing efforts that do not involve formal unionization, but the paper includes some discussion of such activity as well.
