摘要:We present a bargaining model of wage and employment determina-tion, where we show that foreign acquisitions might hurt the bargainingoutcome of powerful unions by giving the rm a credible threat to moveproduction abroad. Using detailed data on rms and workers in manufac-turing, including information on union membership and foreign ownership,we nd, in line with the predictions of our model, that foreign acquisitionsnegatively impact the outcome of workers in highly unionized plants.
