An endogenous growth model with unionised labour market is developed to analyse the interaction between the tax financed productive public expenditure policy and the unemployment benefit policy. We consider both Efficient Bargaining model and Right to Manage model; and analyse properties of balanced growth rate maximising income tax policy as well as effects of unionisation. This growth rate maximising income tax rate exceeds the competitive output share of the public input in the presence of an unemployment benefit scheme. The growth effect of unionisation in the Efficient Bargaining model and in the Right to Manage model are different.

In this paper, a model of endogenous economic growth is developed with special focus on the interaction between unionized labour market and environmental pollution. We introduce a trade union; and use both 'Efficient Bargaining' model and 'Right to Manage' model to solve the negotiation problem. Environmental pollution is the result of production; and the labour union bargains not only for wage and employment but also for the protection of environment. We derive properties of optimum income tax policy while financing abatement expenditure; and also analyse the effects of unionization on the level of employment and on growth rate. It appears that the optimum rate of income tax varies inversely with the relative bargaining power of the labour union. An increase in the relative bargaining power of the labour union may enhance employment in 'Efficient Bargaining' model if the labour union is highly employment oriented. However, the union always forces the firm to raise the spending rate for environment protection. So, unionisation may raise the growth rate, even if the first effect is negative, but the second effect dominates the first effect.

Cet article vise à déterminer si la tension au travail (job strain), pouvant s’accompagner d’un manque de soutien social (iso-strain), accroît la propension des salariés à se syndiquer. L’étude s’appuie sur l’enquête REPONSE de 2011. Les résultats ne montrent aucun lien significatif entre la charge psychologique de travail et l’appartenance à un syndicat. Mais il apparaît qu’être exposé à une certaine forme d’iso-strain a un effet positif sur la probabilité de syndicalisation. Les conclusions de cette étude vont dans le sens de l’approche en termes de frustration/agression ou du modèle « exit-voice », reliant l’adhésion syndicale à l’insatisfaction au travail et au désir d’agir sur ses conditions de travail.
