Formatted abstract The propensity of Australian workers to join trade unions is declining. The situation is a serious matter •for trade unions because for the first time in the history of the Australian trade union movement membership growth rates are negative. This study examines the long run and short run influences on trade union, membership using cointegration regression methodology and a vector error correction model. The study's results show that compositional changes in gender and industry employment have the largest long run affect on trade union membership. .The study's results also indicate that the union movement's strategy of union amalgamation is unlikely to arrest the decline, in union membership.
