UNIONS IN THE NEWS


STATE OF WORKING AMERICA WAGES 2018




"Rising wage inequality and sluggish hourly wage growth for the vast majority of
workers have been defining features of the American labor market for nearly
four decades, despite steady productivity growth."

Elise Gould outlines the important, and deeply troublesome, trends observed in
American wages over the past several decades. While those in the highest income
brackets have seen some of the greatest wage growth, low-income workers have
seen very little real increases. In essence: wage inequality is increasing at a
much faster rate than we've seen in the past. Read more and learn about the
differences across gender, race, age, etc.






THE GROWTH OF NON-PROFIT AND SOCIAL SERVICE ORG UNIONS

Staff at progressive organizations across the country recognize the benefits of
forming a union in their workplaces. Read more about some of the work Local 2 is
doing with groups like the National Democratic Institute in Washington, DC.







WHAT'S THE UNION BENEFIT?

Read George Long's takeaways from a ten-year study titled "Differences Between
Union and Nonunion Compensation, 2001-2011." Long uses extensive statistical
evidence to demonstrate that not only have unionized employees continued to earn
more both in wages as well as benefits, but the differences between union and
nonunion employees have widened--the benefits for union employees are even
greater now than they were at the start of the century.
