UNIONS AND WAGES IN THE PUBLIC SECTOR: A REVIEW OF RECENT EVIDENCE

Abstract

Research into the union impact on wages in government has continued to mushroom. Most studies have not found wide union/nonunion wage differentials in government. However, several studies suggest that public sector unions have more significant effects in raising fringe compensation. Still, the management side has proven to be a tougher bargainer than many observers originally expected.
