Unions not only negotiate wages for their members, it also affects fringe benefits, work allocation, job security and employee participation practices. A new model of trade union membership growth in Malaysia for the period 1980-2009 is proposed. In the model, it incorporates the economic factors as the explanatory variables.

The ordinary least squares method was employed by performing simple regression analysis and multiple regression analysis. The final result shows that all of the explanatory variables determined the trade union membership growth in Malaysia. 2010 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/100554/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/100554/1/100554.pdf text en public degree Universiti Teknologi MARA, Sabah Faculty of Business and Management
