Despite the common criticism that unionized labor is less productive, which is true in some circumstances, it is generally not found to be the case for unionized labor as a whole (Doucouliagos, n.d.). If independent observation and measurement of productivity were to be implemented it could help some unions and hurt others. This is not necessarily a bad thing since it could benefit unions by dispelling the lower productivity myth if productivity is confirmed to be higher in unionized organizations. An expectation of higher productivity among union shops would be a difficult one to manage. I feel union representatives would be more for observation and measurement of productivity than an expectation of higher productivity. However, I imagine there would likely be pushback on both. The issue becomes who is setting the expectation and to what ends. Since productivity benefits the business and business is typically anti-union I could see businesses being for productivity expectations. However, there are likely already productivity goals, and creating differing goals for union and non-union groups is problematic at the very least
