Partnership theory proposes that an appropriate integration of direct and indirect employee participation mutually benefits workers and company. This study explores the putative employee voice gains and the risks for union effectiveness by comparing employees' evaluation of partnership practices at two financial service companies with nonunion and union employee representation respectively.
