Abstract
The authors examine the lack of trade union membership in building societies. To form conclusions as to reasons for this lack of representation they look at the period from 1971. The emergence of staff associations and the employers' obvious reluctance to allow TUC union representation in their organisations are held to be responsible in part. The authors then discuss TUC unions' current strategies such as mergers with staff associations, and consider the possibilities for the future.
