Unionization and Faculty Salaries: New Evidence from the 1990s

Journal of Labor Research, 2000, vol. 21, issue 2, 305-314

Abstract: The literature on how unionization affects faculty salaries and compensation is inconclusive. I use the 1993 National Survey of Postsecondary Faculty to investigate how collective bargaining affects faculty salaries. Union representation significantly alters the returns to individual and institutional characteristics, and unionized faculty receive a premium of between 7 and 14 percent, an earnings differential that is substantially larger than those found in most earlier studies.
