When managers are strongly unitarist, they are much less likely to be strongly pluralist or societal corporatist. These managers would presumably be consistently pro or anti union depending on their mainly pluralist / societal corporatist or unitarist attitude. However, there are some managers who are both strongly unitarist and strongly pluralist (table 5 - Fischer's Exact Test: p<0.001 significance), suggesting that they are conflicted in their attitude toward trade unionism. This may lead to them vacillating between being anti or pro trade union depending on the situation.
