- Title
Declining Unionization: Further Analysis of the 'Fringe Benefits' Effect.
- Authors
Edwards, Wayne; Fuess Jr., Scott M.
- Abstract
Benefits have become a more prominent component of compensation. As a result, it has been suggested that support for organized labor has been diluted. New research reports that as fringe benefits have become more prominent, ceteris paribus, unionization has been adversely affected. This study looks for further evidence of a fringe effect, by analyzing the diverse industries associated with manufacturing. With data for 1983-1996 for twenty subsectors of U.S. manufacturing, we confirm a fringe effect, but the effect varies substantially across industries.
