Unions and Upward Mobility for Women Workers
December 2008, John Schmitt
This report uses national data from the Current Population Survey (CPS)
to show that unionization raises the wages of the typical woman worker
by 11.2 percent compared to their non-union peers. The study goes on to
show that unionization also increases the likelihood that a woman
worker will have health insurance and a pension. The report also notes
that union membership results in health care and pension gains on par
with the gains of a college education.
