abstract: 'This research demonstrates that the union wage premium is higher for
|
|
|
|
Black and women workers in the US public sector, what we refer to as
|
|
|
|
``an intersectional union premium.{''''} Union mechanisms reinforce and
|
|
|
|
expand the more equitable practices of the public sector, resulting in
|
|
|
|
this additional boost. Using Current Population Survey data, 1983-2018,
|
|
|
|
this research models intersectional effects on earnings by examining
|
|
|
|
interactions between union membership and race-gender. Relative to White
|
|
|
|
men, union membership boosts average earnings an additional 3\% for
|
|
|
|
Black men and Black women, and 2\% for White women on top of the direct
|
|
|
|
union premium. Corollary analyses reaffirm these effects in multiple
|
|
|
|
state contexts, including by union density and union coverage.
|
|
|
|
Intersectional union premiums are weaker in states that prohibit
|
|
|
|
collective bargaining. These premiums are present across most types of
|
|
|
|
public work, with the exception of police and fire employees. To
|
|
|
|
conclude, the authors discuss how changing labor policies may impact
|
|
|
|
race and gender equity in the public sector.'
