Seniority Profiles in Unionized Workplaces: Do Unions Still have the Edge?*
区分了工会与非工会工作场所中资历对工资的影响，发现工会部门资历工资曲线更陡，而非工会部门职业经验作用更大。
Abstract The focus of this study is to distinguish the different paths seniority earning profiles follow depending on whether the individual is employed in a workplace where trade unions and collective bargaining are present, or not. Within this framework, two propositions are set. In the union sector seniority should be an important determinant of wages, while in the non‐union sector productivity, proxied by occupational experience, should have a key role on earning profiles. The empirical analysis verifies both propositions. Seniority earning profiles appear to be steeper in the union sector, while occupational expertise is estimated to have a more significant role in non‐union jobs.
