Unions and Nonwage Racial Discrimination Industrial and Labor Relations Review 32,4 (July 1979): 439-450. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522960 Cohort(s): Older Men, Young Men Publisher: Cornell University Press Keyword(s): Discrimination, Racial/Ethnic; Job Training; Labor Market Outcomes; Pensions; Schooling; Unions This paper departs from earlier studies of racial differences in union impact by concentrating on differences on two nonwage labor market outcomes: the exit propensity of individual workers and their opportunities for occupational upgrading. Using data from the NLS of Young and Older Men, the author finds that unionism lengthens tenure and reduces quits for blacks and whites alike in both categories. Similarly, no systematic racial difference is found in the opportunities for occupational advancement available to unionized blacks in comparison to unionized whites. The author concludes that union bargaining over nonwage conditions of employment does not have the effect of negating the positive impact of unions on the ratio of black to white wages documented in previous studies. |
