Descrição: This article posits that differences in statutory treatment of union security provisions in Canada and the US may significantly contribute to the union density gap between the 2 countries. Union density in Canada and the US now stands at 30% and 13%, respectively. The rate of unionism in Canada is approximately double the unionism rate in the US in both the public and private sectors. For most of the 20th century, union growth patterns were remarkably similar, and by 1966 union density in both countries stood at 30%. From that point forward, however, unionization patterns diverged and a union density gap between the 2 countries developed and persisted.
