Disability and trade union membership in the UK
利用英国两项全国调查数据，发现残疾员工比非残疾员工工会入会率高3.6个百分点，但工会会员身份并未显著减少残疾相关的劳动力市场不平等。
Abstract Using data from two national surveys, the Quarterly Labour Force Survey and the Workplace Employment Relations Survey, we establish evidence of a robust disability‐related trade union membership differential in the UK. After controlling for differences in other personal and work‐related characteristics, disabled employees are found to be 3.6 percentage points (12–14 per cent) more likely to be union members than non‐disabled employees. While the differential is consistent with evidence that disabled employees have stronger preferences for union representation, we do not find evidence that union membership is associated with disproportionate benefits for disabled employees in terms of a reduction in disability‐related labour market inequality.
