Overtime Pay, Overtime Hours, and Labor Unions
利用1985年5月当前人口调查数据,分析工会对加班补偿和加班时间的影响,发现工会提高了加班费普及率,减少了加班时间,与工会通过加班费稳定工时、扩大会员的模型一致。
This article analyzes the effect of labor unions on overtime compensation and overtime hours. Estimates from May 1985 Current Population Survey data indicate that unionization increases the prevalence of premium pay for overtime and reduces the incidence and extent of overtime hours. Along with the finding of previous research that unionized workers are more susceptible to temporary layoffs, these results are consistent with a model in which unions use overtime pay to stabilize working hours and expand membership.
