Union Strength and Wage Inflation Industrial Relations: A Journal of Economy and Society 18,2 (March 1979): 144-155.

The hypothesis that the effect of union strength on wage inflation differs according to overall economic conditions is tested using ordinary least squares regression analysis of data for a period of relatively high employment (1968-1969) and for a period of recession (1970-71). In general, the results indicate that union strength has a rather small, but positive, impact on wage inflation for union members during periods of economic expansion and a similar moderate and positive effect on wages for non-union and union workers during recessionary periods. |
