Non-standard Work and Economic Vulnerability - Richard P. Chaykowski - Vulnerable Workers Series - No|3
The extent of union representation is, however, a function of several factors, including the interest of vulnerable workers in union representation, the interest of unions in organizing vulnerable workers, and the extent to which the labour relations legislative framework does, or does not, facilitate the organization of vulnerable workers.

[...] The focus is on the extent and depth of low pay and the nature of the employment relationships (typically nonstandard employment arrangements) experienced by vulnerable workers.
