Relative Wage Effects of Unions in the Public and Private Sectors Industrial and Labor Relations Review 31,2 (January 1978): 193-203. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522387 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Cornell University Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Private Sector; Public Sector; Unions; Wage Effects; White Collar Jobs This study focuses on wage differentials in unionized and non-unionized employment, in both the government and private sectors. One important aspect of this analysis is that it considers workers across a wide range of occupations and for all levels of government. The author concludes that public sector unions have not been successful in raising the earnings of white-collar workers but that they have raised the earnings of blue-collar workers. The author finds, however, that union wage effects in the public sector are generally comparable to or smaller than union wage effects in the private sector. |
