The comparative analysis indicated a decline in unionization rates in both Canada and the U.S. between 1984 and 1998. However, the decline in the U.S. was steeper due to changes in legislation that made it more difficult and costly for unions to organize and bargain collectively. Canada also saw some changes to labour legislation during this time, but they were not as significant as in the U.S. This suggests that changes to legislation may have been a contributing factor to the decline in unionization rates in both countries, but more so in the U.S.
