Compensation, Unionization, and Deregulation in the Motor Carrier Industry
研究放松管制对汽车运输行业薪酬的影响，发现对存活工会企业平均薪酬影响很小，但对非工会企业影响较大，同时工会企业大量退出导致工会劳动力水平大幅下降。
Previous research on the deregulation of the motor carrier industry has concluded that firms have become more efficient under deregulation and that costs have fallen, largely at the expense of labor. Most studies that examine the effects on labor use Current Population Survey data and find that wage premiums to union labor have fallen as a result of deregulation. This study uses firm data and finds that deregulation had a very small effect on the average compensation paid by surviving union firms. For nonunion firms, the impact of deregulation is much larger. These results suggest that the compensation premium for the labor of surviving union firms has increased, but this increase applies only to surviving union labor. In the paper, we also point to and note a major exodus of union firms with the result that union labor levels have fallen, and fallen dramatically.
