UNION LEADERSHIP AND THE CONFERRAL OF SYMBOLIC REWAREDS: MICAHEL QUILL AND THE TRANSPORT WORKERS UNION

Abstract

Overwhelmingly, research on public sector negotiations focuses on the interactive process that takes place between the union and the government entity directly involved. Occasionally, because of the diffusion of authority on the employer side of the table in public employment, attempts have been made to determine who speaks for the employer in such bargaining. The purpose of this article is to look at the other side of the table; to examine the internal political pressures that are brought to bear on public sector union leaders. Specifically, it examines the use of "symbolic" means to respond to such pressure.
