This variable is taken from the CBR Labour Regulation Index Dataset (‘CBR-LRI’), which provides data on labor laws in 117 countries for the period from (in most cases) 1970 to 2022, except for post-socialist countries (see Adams et al. 2017, 2023). The variable measures the protection of the right to form trade unions in the country's constitution (flexibly interpreted in the case of countries without a codified constitution). The CBR-LRI data was coded using provisions of law and relevant court decisions, which are taken from secondary sources, national law databases, and ILO NATLEX data. The scale ranges from "0" to "1" where "0" corresponds to legal systems not recognizing a right to form unions (neither of the above) and "1" to the constitution recognises and is granting a right to form trade unions. Values in between describe, for example:
- 0.67 = the constitution is describing trade unions as a matter of public policy or public interest
- 0.33 = the constitution is recognising trade unions otherwise or there is a reference to freedom of association
Coding rules
The coding template (algorithm) with the definition of the variable and instructions for the coding process is described in Adams et al. (2017, 2023). As Adams et al. (2023:19) describe, the value of the variable "Right to unionisation" "Equals 1 if a right to form trade unions is expressly granted by the constitution. Equals 0.67 if trade unions are described in the constitution as a matter of public policy or public interest. Equals 0.33 if trade unions are otherwise mentioned in the constitution or there is a reference to freedom of association which encompasses trade unions. Equals 0 otherwise. Scope for further gradations between 0 and 1 to reflect changes in the strength of the law." The assessment of the scale levels of all variables in the CBR-LRI documentation and the specification of the values in the template are partially incongruent. The scale level was set uniformly to metric for all CBR-LRI data on collective rights in the 1st project phase of CRC 1342; this is retained for pragmatic reasons.
