A national survey makes it possible to examine employees' awareness of net overallreductions in the size of the workforce along with their awareness of employer policies thatpromise 'no compulsory redundancies'.

A union presence increases both job reductions and jobsecurity guarantees to employees, and high membership density has some additional effectsin the market sector, but not the public sector.
