The Effect of Unionism on Workers' Valuation of Future Pension Benefits Industrial and Labor Relations Review 34,4 (July 1981): 510-521. Also: http://www.jstor.org/stable/2522474 Cohort(s): Older Men Publisher: Cornell University Press Keyword(s): Blue-Collar Jobs; Pensions; Retirement/Retirement Planning; Unions; White Collar Jobs The author focuses on the impact of unionism on pension benefits that middle-aged male workers expect to receive at retirement. The valuation of future benefits is examined because expected benefits rather than actual expenditures by employers in pensions should be the more important variable in explaining the labor market behavior of individual workers. Data from the NLS of Older Men 45-59 suggest that union workers are more knowledgeable than non-union workers about their retirement benefits. Among firms providing benefits, expected benefits are actually lower in union firms than in non-union establishments; however, nonunion firms are less likely to to provide pension benefits. |
