Summary:The study investigated the factors influencing union participation amongst workers of a well established Japanese textile factory in Penang, Malaysia. Data was collected using survey questionnaires. 230 employees were surveyed from a total of 690. 44 valid questionnaires returned by respondents were analyzed.
