Dundee Discussion Papers in Economics 048: Union Membership and Wage Bargaining When Membership Is Not Compulsory

Alison L. Booth, Monojit Chatterji

    Research output: Working paper/PreprintDiscussion paper

    Abstract

    This paper provides a formal model of union wage and membership determination where the union is recognized for bargaining purposes, where membership of the union is not compulsory, and where the union faces a budget constraint in its organization activities. This simultaneous equation model is then used as the basis for estimation of manual wages and union density for the private sector using the 1990 Workplace Industrial Relations Survey.
