Abstract

Henderson and Quiggin offer an analysis of labour movement attitudes towards Basic Income, with a focus on the type of Basic Income proposals that might win trade union support in the future. The chapter begins by describing the lack of trade union support for Basic Income. The authors argue that some unionists—and workers—view Basic Income as a wage subsidy that would undermine the goal of secure, well-paid work. The authors argue that advocates of Basic Income can hope to attract trade union support only if the policy is combined with an effective policy to end involuntary unemployment, and possibly with a job guarantee.
