Article Abstract:
This study examines NRLB bargaining orders that have gone to appeals courts and ascertains what factors influence whether or not the order is enforced and to what degree these factors influence the likelihood of enforcement. Substantial information has been collected from each reported appellate decision that reviewed NRLB bargaining orders issued over a four-year period. A probit regression model is employed to examine whether factors related to an employer's unfair labor practice campaign are involved in the circuit court's enforcement decisions or if more weight is given to unrelated factors, such as the circuit in which the appeal is heard or the amount of judicial delay involved in the appeals process.

Article Abstract:
Secondary data are used to examine the relationship between the power of international union presidents and their pay. The analysis supported the hypotheses that (1) power and pay were positively related and (2) the relationship is more pronounced in unions that are larger and are less effective in bargaining as well as during periods characterized by conflict over the president's role. While highlighting the political dimensions of union organizations, the data also support previous studies that found international union officers' salaries to have a "rational" basis in the union's bargaining effectiveness.

Article Abstract:
This study presents evidence for significant regional differences in both independent and dependent variables across NLRB regions in decertification cases. It suggests that dichotomizing the question of regionality in NLRB cases into South-Non-South differences may be inappropriate. (Reprinted by permission of the publisher.)
