Abstract: |
The influence of corporate acquisitions on
union membership may differ when the acquiring firm is foreign instead
of domestic. This study tests this hypothesis by estimating a union
status equation that includes measures of foreign and domestic
acquisition activity. The findings suggest that the tendency of foreign
owners to acquire firms in highly concentrated industries and the
tendency of domestic owners to acquire firms in less capital intensive
industries partly explain the higher probability of union membership in
industries experiencing foreign acquisition activity. |
