Unions and the Duration of Workers’ Compensation Claims
研究加拿大工会状态对工伤赔偿索赔持续时间的影响，发现工会会员的索赔时间更短，且这种差异不能主要归因于工人或工作特征差异。
This paper examines the effect of union status on workers’ compensation claim duration in Canada. I find that unionized workers have shorter claims than nonunionized workers and that relatively little of this difference can be attributed to differences in worker or job characteristics. I interpret this as being consistent with a strong union effect that reduces union member's claim duration. Plausible explanations for this finding and directions for future research are also discussed.
