abstract = {Industrial relations researchers have long recognized the importance of bargaining power in
understanding wage settlements between labor and management. As an empirical matter it
has been a challenge to develop measures of union bargaining power. Using a unique data
set from Japan, this study identifies how close contract settlements came to satisfying
organized labor?s original demands. With those survey results over the 1960-1999 period, it is
possible to develop a measure of union power and distinguish how it has fluctuated over
time. These findings for Japan have important implications for empirical analysis of union
bargaining power.},
