- Abstract
The article discusses the differences between compensation paid to union workers and nonunion workers during the period 2001-2011. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), union workers receive larger wage increases than those of nonunion workers on an average, and generally earn higher wages and have greater access to employer-sponsored benefits. The National Compensation Survey (NCS) considers a worker to be in a union occupation, if a labor organization is recognized as the bargaining agent for all workers in a given occupation; wages and salaries are determined through collective bargaining or negotiation; and settlement terms include earnings provisions and benefit provisions.
