This article analyzes the reproduction and the transformation of Taiwan's single trade union from the path dependence in historical institutionalism analysis. First, based on James Mahoney's institutional reproduction theory, this article argues that the single trade union regime is reproduced through the amendments of the Labor Union Act and thus plays an important role in the labor organizations. Second, this article examines whether the corporate unions, industrial unions and professional unions are afforded the same protection regarding unfair labor practices, according to Mahoney and Kathleen Thelen's institutional change models and the institution as the distributional instruments. However, the human resource managers take advantage of the unfair labor practice committee on the cross-class cooperation between employees and managers and, moreover, the ambiguity on the Article 14 of the Labor Union Act to develop a new corporate union. Third, this paper examines how a professional union establishes collective bargaining power outside the unfair labor practice proceedings. Finally, based on these findings, this article tries to supplement and to revise the path dependence theory. |
