Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Part-time workers typically have a more fragmented and diverse work schedule, which can make it more difficult and expensive for unions to organize them. Additionally, many part-time workers may not be interested in joining a union due to their different needs and motives compared to full-time workers. While the cost of union dues may be a contributing factor, it is not the primary reason for lower union membership rates among part-time workers. The fact that many part-time workers are women may also be a contributing factor, but it is not the main driver of the disparity. Lastly, it cannot be assumed that most part-time workers enjoy superior working conditions compared to full-time workers.
