摘要:Using nationally representative workplace surveys we examine the relationship
between unionization and workplace financial performance in Britain and France.
We find that union bargaining is detrimental to workplace performance in Britain
and that this effect is larger when unionization is endogenized. In France,
union bargaining is associated with poorer workplace performance but the effect
disappears once unionization is treated as endogenous. However, high levels of
union density do have a negative impact on workplace performance in France. In
Britain the union effect does not rise with union density.
