| Abstract: | In the United Kingdom, there is a growing gap in the union membership wage premium between public and private-sector workers. The gap between the membership premium in the public and private sectors closes with the addition of three-digit occupational controls using the Labour Force Surveys of 1993-2006 though significant wage premia remain in both sectors. Using the Workplace Employment Relations Survey of 2004 gives different results. The public-sector union membership wage premium remains roughly twice the size of the private sector membership premium, having accounted for workplace fixed effects and workers' occupations, job characteristics, qualifications and demographics. |
