*-* A new report by the Center for Economic and Policy Researchhttp://www.cepr.net/(CEPR) documents a large wage and benefit advantage for immigrant workers in unions relative to their non-union counterparts.

The report, "Unions and Upward Mobility for Immigrant Workershttp://www.cepr.net/index.php/publications/reports/unions-upward-mobility-immigrant-workers/," found that unionized immigrant workers earned, on average, 17 percent more than their non-union peers. In addition, immigrant workers in unions were much more likely to have health insurance benefits and a pension plan.
