This article explores the conditions under which unions achieve inclusive outcomes for nonstandard workers in their collective agreements. Using fsQCA, it compares 52 collective agreements signed in Portugal between 2003 and 2019. Additionally, it reports on three short case studies. Results show that the unions’ potential to mobilize resources in favour of outsiders is crucial and is due to either high union density or unions’ class‐oriented ideology. However, although a high potential to mobilize resources is necessary, it is not sufficient for pro‐outsider provisions in collective agreements. In a context of growing liberalization of industrial relations, unions only include these clauses in their collective agreements in one of the following circumstances: (i) the combination of high union density and sectoral growth, (ii) the combination of a class‐oriented union signing the agreement and low employer density and (iii) the combination of high union density and a class‐oriented union signing the agreement.

This study investigates the effects of the mandatory extension of collective agreements on union membership. This relationship is investigated using a difference‐in‐differences framework on the staggered industry‐ and county‐wide introduction of mandatory extension in Norway from 2005 to 2011. The introduction of mandatory extension was championed by labour and social partners and motivated by the EU enlargement of 2004 in response to increasing labour immigration. However, mandatory extension could lead to lower union membership through free‐rider behaviour. It is therefore a question of whether the cure is worse than the problem it is supposed to solve. The results show that mandatory extension had an overall negative effect on union density in the affected industries of about −2.7 percentage points. The effect varies between the different industries but is never positive. These findings give credence to the free‐rider hypothesis, where mandatory extension is expected to lead to lower union density because there is less incentive to become a union member when workers can obtain the benefits of the collective agreement without paying the union dues. In line with the theoretical expectations, the effect is stronger where the gap between collective wage and non‐union wage is largest. However, negative effects are also present where this wage gap is small, showing that the results are valid in different contexts.

In this article, we honour David Marsden's most important contribution: his Theory of Employment Systems (ToES). Grounded in standard economic analysis, ToES sets out to explain how a relatively small number of employment systems solve fundamental problems associated with open‐ended employment relationships (flexibility and opportunism). In the period since its publication, the employment relationship remains the dominant form of engaging workers; however, employment arrangements in the UK and elsewhere have been transformed, and employment systems in many settings more closely resemble configurations of rules that ToES predicted would prove unstable. While ToES does not explicitly integrate a number of important dimensions that define all aspects of employment systems, we show why Marsden's core theoretical insights retain analytical purchase as an explanatory framework. That said, taking a more sociologically and historically informed approach to understanding contemporary employment systems is required to comprehend the diversity of employment systems and how they evolve in the twenty‐first century.
