Information on Military Unionization and Organization
Abstract
Many European countries permit military personnel to join unions or form associations to deal collectively on matters affecting their living and working conditions. A similar organization of the U.S. military has become the subject of considerable interest by the Congress, labor unions, and the public. The report does not support a position for or against military unionization. However, it does discuss military personnel practices in the Netherlands, West Germany, Denmark, and Sweden, which all permit same form of organized representation. It should be noted that there are many differences--social, political, military, etc.--between the United States and the countries studied as well as between the individual countries. Because of these differences, the experiences in these countries cannot be directly related to the United States.
