This study posits, by contrast, that point-in-time estimates of the union premium overlook the cumulative earnings advantages of long-term, persistent union membership. Using a sample of men from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics from 1969 to 2019, the authors investigate how lifetime union membership contributes to earnings advantages. They find, first, that unionization throughout one’s career is associated with a $1.3 million mean increase in lifetime earnings, larger than the average gains from completing college. Second, the lifetime earnings gains are channeled entirely through higher hourly wages and occur despite earlier-than-average retirement for persistently unionized men. Third, the union wage premium is not constant throughout a worker’s career; instead it increases with more years of union membership. The cumulative advantages of union membership for workers’ economic well-being are far greater than point-in-time estimates suggest.","PeriodicalId":13504,"journal":{"name":"ILR Review","volume":"54 1","pages":"434 - 460"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75667696","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Because the processes by which these adoptions took place are arguably exogenous, identification of the causal effect of right-to-work on unionization within a state becomes possible. The author uses a set of semi-independent cross-sections drawn from the Current Population Survey for years 2000 to 2018 to investigate the impact of right-to-work on the probability of unionization in the five states that adopted it after 2011. The empirical analysis reveals an economically meaningful and statistically significant adverse effect from right-to-work adoption on union density that is distinct from other factors influencing unionization during that time period.","PeriodicalId":13504,"journal":{"name":"ILR Review","volume":"206 1","pages":"412 - 433"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85506143","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Meyers","authors":"Nicos Moushouttas","doi":"10.1177/00197939221120815","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1177/00197939221120815","url":null,"abstract":"mobilizations. Despite the citations from interviews, we cannot learn more about the biographical and demographical information on the interviewees. The author mentions the role of the migrant workers (especially in the Brazilian cases) and the inequalities concerning female workers (especially in the Indian cases). However, he focuses mainly on their status (contract or permanent), leaving the reader to wonder about the individual profiles of some of these workers (age, gender, ethnicity, family, education, and so forth). Who strikes and who does not? Some portraits of workers could have been useful to provide more information on which workers participated in strikes and mobilizations. Nonetheless, the book achieves and goes beyond its goals through a final discussion on what to do with the analysis of strikes and what happens after strikes. The author tries to answer the question of how the study of strikes in specific sectors and countries could contribute to the general literature on capitalism, right wing movements, and authoritarian regimes. By doing this, he puts into question the research that focuses on the limits of trade unions and that claims the trade unions no longer serve workers’ interests and/or are no longer capable of playing an important role in contentious politics. He states that the trade union format has been successful when it combined with other forms of organization. Nowak provides insight on the relations between trade unions and other types of social movements. His conclusions offer new perspectives to researchers who are working on recent mobilizations in europe, such as the Gilets Jaunes (yellow vests) movement. Unlike the literature criticizing the trade unions’ strategies on the one hand and promoting the Gilets Jaunes as a new actor representing working-class interests on the other, Nowak’s results on the Indian and the Brazilian strikes between 2010 and 2014 underline the relevance of the articulation of workplace conflicts with class relations beyond the workplace and with nonclass relations as it results in greater popular power.","PeriodicalId":13504,"journal":{"name":"ILR Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"468 - 470"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"84825737","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The authors estimate that 14.4% of California workers aged 18 to 64 in tax year 2016 had some independent contracting or self-employment income and approximately half of this subgroup also had earnings from traditional W-2 jobs during the year. Only a small share (1.4%) of workers had earnings from online labor platforms (often called gig work). Workers with low earnings were significantly more likely to earn independent contracting or self-employment income and to rely primarily or exclusively on that income. The article explores the characteristics of workers engaging in independent contracting and self-employment and their distribution across family type, geography, and industry.","PeriodicalId":13504,"journal":{"name":"ILR Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"357 - 386"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82853866","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We called on their expertise to draw attention to the politics that drive the definition and development of skill and its use in shaping the rights and voice of workers. The essays in this forum explore the politics of skill along three lines. First, they interrogate the definition and assessment of skill, with particular attention to the ways that structural markers of social difference—such as race, gender, class, and immigration status—shape the valuation of skill. Second, they analyze the ways that the interpretation of skill is shaped by power dynamics at the worksite and in the broader economy. This line of analysis also considers possibilities for industrial renewal and labor mobilization. And third, the essays explore how skill classifications are used to narrow political and civil rights and to justify forms of exploitation and dehumanization.","PeriodicalId":13504,"journal":{"name":"ILR Review","volume":"1 1","pages":"1348 - 1368"},"PeriodicalIF":2.8,"publicationDate":"2022-07-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"83783094","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"管理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
