In the U.S., at least, company unions are an important issue. Although federal law outlaws company unions, the issue has arisen recently in light of a number of developments: An AFL-CIO push for labor-management cooperation; a push by legal expert Charles Morris and a number of unions for member-only minority unions; and the role employers play in card-check union recognition under American law. The National Labor Relations Board has recently suggested (in the Kentucky River cases) that employer cooperation with unions in signing neutrality and/or card-check agreements illegally taints the union and turns it into a company union. I think the issue is much more important than "Mid". - Tim1965 22:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Okay, it's a real article now
I'm woefully aware that my attempt to give this article an international scope is sadly lacking. It's the best I could do in my spare time without hitting the library. Still, I think it's a decent opening salvo. — Scartol · Talk 08:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] New resource
Professor Jonathan Rees has just sent a new book to the publisher on this subject, with a considerable amount of new material. I have read the first few chapters, and i think this will be a significant contribution to the topic of company unions. Jonathan's web page is here:

I don't know the release date.
