Union Bargaining: A Survey of Recent Work

Abstract

While economists have had a long-standing interest in the way the presence of trade unions affects the operations of the labour market and hence of the economy, there has been a remarkable upsurge of work in this area since the late 1970s. This was undoubtedly sparked by the recognition that, given the prevalence of collectively negotiated wage agreements, a clear understanding of how unions set wages was an essential part of the urgent need to explain the prevailing very high levels of unemployment.
