| Abstract: | The author examines the earnings of US union dockworkers for periods prior to and after passage of the Shipping Act of 1984. Evidence suggests that the wage increases resulted from an increase in dockworker bargaining power, attributed to the increase in demand for dockworkers; (2) the decrease in the likelihood that dockworker employers will chance a strike; and (3) the increase in port capital-labour ratios. |
