| Resumo: | This paper is the first attempt to analyse the relationship between unionisaion, temporay employment and non-sandard hours of work, compaing Spain and Britain, which are charactersed by relatively differen laboumarket struures and substantially different degrees of employment protections. Despite such differences, these two countries show similar responses of unionisation to flexible employment. In particular, we find tha union recognition in Britain and firm-level union presence in Span do not respond to changes in long hours of work and overtime hours, whereatemporary employment is negativly coelated with union coveagin both ountries. We find, however, some differences between the two countries when the samples are stratified by industry |
