WSJ: Closer Look at Union vs. Nonunion Workers’ Wages
by SMLR Library 18 Dec '12

18 Dec '12

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management * Title:* * Closer Look at Union vs. Nonunion Workers’ Wages * *Date: Dec. 17, 2012 *Source: *Wall Street Journal** Author: Ben Casselman *Summary: * Over the weekend, the Journal reported on the economics of “right-to-work” rules. The conclusion: It’s complicated, especially when it comes to proving cause and effect. But at a very basic level, right-to-work states have lower unemployment rates and faster job growth, but also lower wages. (article includes links to another WSJ article and a document from the BLS).

EPRN: 'Right to Work' Isn't a Civil Right. But Unionizing Should Be
by SMLR Library 17 Dec '12

17 Dec '12

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management * Title:* * 'Right to Work' Isn't a Civil Right. But Unionizing Should Be * *Date: Dec. 16, 2012 *Source: **Employment Policy Research Network*** Author: Richard D. Kahlenberg, Moshe Z. Marvit *Summary: * The adoption of so-called "right to work" legislation in Michigan, of all places, represents an historic setback for organized labor. First, Republicans went after public employees in the birthplace of public unions, Wisconsin. And now they have taken the fight to private employee unions in the cradle of modern industrial unionism. Conservatives are right that, if they can win in Michigan, they can win almost anywhere.

NYT: How to Attack the Gender Wage Gap? Speak Up

*SMLR-Net, the source of selected news on labor and employment relations and human resource management * Title:* * How to Attack the Gender Wage Gap? Speak Up * *Date: Dec. 15, 2012 *Source: *NT Times** Author: Jessica Bennet *Summary: * Line them up next to a real dollar, and the difference is stark: 77 cents for white women; 69 cents for black women. The final dollar — so small that it can fit in a coin purse, represents 57 cents, for Latina women. On a campus that is two-thirds women, many have heard these numbers before. Yet holding them up next to one another is sobering.
