This Brief examines the way that labor unions have been able to use mergers to survive the trend of sharply declining size and bargaining power. Using the metaphor of a ship adrift in a stormy sea, the author addresses the often-asked questions of why unions merge, how unions merge, and what unions can accomplish by merging.

Globalization is commonly described in trade and cultural terms but its impact on unions and collective bargaining is seldom assessed.
