Abstract
This paper reports the results of Victoria University's Industrial Relations Centre's annual survey of trade union membership in New Zealand for 2005. The survey has been conducted since 1991, when the Employment Contracts Act 1991 (ECA) ended the practice of union registration and the collection of official data. There has been a return to the collection of official data, available from the Department of Labour (DOL) for 2002 onwards. This year we report changes in union membership, composition, and density from December 2004 to December 2005, taking an historical perspective to compare the industrial relations periods framed by the ECA and the Employment Relations Act 2000 (ERA).
