		The first chapter of the dissertation examines the impact of mandatory election laws on certification success using data on private sector certification attempts from British Columbia over the 1978 to 1998 period.
		In general, mandatory election laws are believed to lead to lower certifi- cation success rates for two reasons: (1) management has more opportunity to oppose the bid in a voting system; and (2) peer-pressure from pro-union colleagues and union organizers may artificially inflate the "true" level of support in a card-check system.
		In British Columbia, it is rare for a union in one of the card-check regimes to fail to gather 55 percent supportsufficient for certification without a vote.
