Abstract:
In industry, especially in the private sector, profit is usually the acid test of success or failure. Most organisations, if they are to be run effectively, need money - and trade unions are no exception. Trade union finance, however, is not an end in itself, but rather a means to an end. The real strength o f trade unions is in the size of their membership in relation to the number o f workers in the category for which they cater. Thus it is on the size of a union's membership that success or failure may ultimately be judged. Members cannot figure on a balance sheet but they are nevertheless the union's real assets.
