Social scientists have not helped the working class make strategic
deci sions. Unionists need to know how to carry on industrial
conflict so as to provide concrete economic benefits for their
members. Should unions strike or not strike? Should losses be
avoided at all costs, or can unions afford to take chances? Does
economism gut the class power of workers or provide a pragmatic
strategy for increasing workers' wage gains? We can say with great
confidence that workers should join unions; there is now an
exhaustive and compelling literature demonstrating that union
membership provides a wide variety of economic benefits. We can say
that corporatist class compromises lower income but increase job
security and overall employment. Beyond that, however, we cannot
say much. In particular, we can do little to advise particular
unions in partic ular fixed institutional and political
environments how they should han dle the microtactics of individual
confrontations. The United Farm Work ers do not need a speech about
the miracle of the Swedish industrial relations system. They need
to know whether they should strike or not strike, and how their
tactics should change if rival Teamsters come into the field.
Unfortunately, medical research often has to start with rabbits be
fore it proceeds to humans, and so it is with research in
industrial conflict. The realistic prospects of doing a large
sample analysis of con temporary American wage settlements that
simultaneously estimates the effects of union tactics and economic
factors are poor."
