摘要

本文将COVID-19大流行病视为外生冲击，试图确定工会是否在其引发的经济危机期间调整工资和工作时间以保护其成员。基于 2018-20 年韩国面板数据，作者发现，在大流行期间，工会会员保住工作的可能性是非工会会员的 1.9 倍。然而，尽管工会会员比非工会会员减少了更多的工作时间，但两个行业的工资增长并没有发现明显差异。因此，研究结果表明，工会在此期间通过减少工时而非工资来提供就业保护。

Do unions provide employment protection in times of economic crisis? A natural experiment of COVID-19

Considering the COVID-19 pandemic as an exogenous shock, this article attempts to determine whether unions adjusted wages and working hours to protect their members during the economic crisis that it triggered. Based on 2018–20 Korean panel data, the author finds that, during the pandemic, union members were 1.9 times more likely to keep their jobs than non-union members. However, no significant difference is found between the wage growth in the two sectors, although union members decreased their working hours more than nonunion members. The results therefore suggest that unions provided employment protection during this period by reducing working hours, not wages.
