Practice What You Preach: The Gender Pay Gap in Labor Union Compensation
研究了2000-2019年美国全国和地方工会中官员和员工的性别薪酬差距,发现女性官员和员工薪酬显著低于男性。
The existence of a gender pay gap has been well established in the literature but has remained unexplored within unions. Using 2000–2019 LM‐2 data, our study quantifies the gender pay gap among union officers and staff in United States national and local unions. We find evidence that women face a gender wage penalty, with female officers in local unions and female staff in both national and local unions being paid significantly less than their male counterparts.
