This note compares the incidence of unionism and the relative union shares within each earnings bracket for two completely different samples: the NLS Older Men's cohort and the 1969-70 Survey of Working Conditions. The cumulative distribution of union and nonunion earnings shares is then used to measure the degree of inequality via the Gini coefficient. The results indicate that, after controlling for age and individual characteristics effects, unions do significantly reduce inequality in the size distribution of earnings.
