Determinants of public sector certification election outcomes: evidence from Ohio
Article Abstract:
Data on the outcomes of union certification elections in Ohio were collected to assess why public sector unions have enjoyed more growth since the 1970s than have private sector unions. Research concentrated on the period following enactment of Ohio's Public Employee Collective Bargaining Law in 1984. The results suggest the build-up of demand for public employee unionization and the weaker opposition of public service employers are two factors behind the differential growth.

Private corporations were observed to have lower arbitration rates but higher grievance rates than public corporations.
