Next, the author reviews the literature to see if unions have helped women in areas such as collective bargaining, securing health benefits and promoting job security. The paper describes the methodology to be used for the research including a two sample group survey. The questionnaire is included. This paper contains a table.

From the Paper:
"With the global economy on the downturn and showing no clear signs of improving soon, a growing number of American workers are facing layoffs and downsizings in ways that have not been seen since the Great Depression. Complicating matters for many workers is the fact that unions have been cited as one of the problems contributing to the shaky national economy since their efforts to improve working conditions for their membership over the years have resulted in relatively high levels of wages and expanded benefit packages that frequently far exceed their non-unionized competitors."Sample of Sources Used:
