[IWS] CEPR: UNIONS & UPWARD MOBILITY for WOMEN WORKERS [2 December 2008]]
by Eugene McElroy 09 Dec '08

09 Dec '08

Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) Unions and Upward Mobility for Women Workers [2 December 2008] John Schmitt http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/unions_and_upward_mobility_for_w… [full-text, 10 pages] Press Release 2 December 2008 Unionization Substantially Improves the Pay and Benefits of Women Workers Gains from union membership large, even compared to benefits of college education. http://www.cepr.net/index.php/press-releases/press-releases/unionization-su… For Immediate Release: December 2, 2008 Contact: Alan Barber, 202-293-5380 x115 WASHINGTON, D.C. - A new report by the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) documents a large wage and benefit advantage for women workers in unions relative to their non-union counterparts. The report, "<http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/unions_and_upward_mobility_for_w…> Unions and Upward Mobility for Women Workers," found that unionized women workers earned, on average, 11.2 percent more than their non-union peers. In addition, women in unions were much more likely to have health insurance benefits and a pension plan. "For women, joining a union makes as much sense as going to college," said <http://www.cepr.net/index.php/john-schmitt/> John Schmitt, a Senior Economist at CEPR and the author of the study. "All else equal, joining a union raises a woman's wage as much as a full-year of college, and a union raises the chances a woman has health insurance by more than earning a four-year college degree." The <http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/unions_and_upward_mobility_for_w…> report , which analyzed data from the Census Bureau's <http://www.census.gov/cps/> Current Population Survey (CPS), found that unionization raises the pay of women workers by almost $2.00 per hour. According to the report, women workers in unions were also 19 percentage points more likely to have employer-provided health insurance, all the more significant, since women pay higher premium rates individually than men. Women workers were also 26 percentage points more likely to have an employer-provided pension plan than women workers who were not in unions. The <http://www.cepr.net/documents/publications/unions_and_upward_mobility_for_w…> study also shows that unionization strongly benefited women workers in otherwise low-wage occupations. Among women workers in the 15 lowest-paying occupations, union members earned 14 percent more than those workers who were not in unions. In the same low-wage occupations, unionized women were 26 percentage points more likely to have employer-provided health insurance and 23 percentage points more likely to have a pension plan than their non-union counterparts.
