The intra-unit wage structure and unions: A median voter model.
This study adopts the median voter model to analyze the influence of unions on wage structures within collective bargaining units. The model predicts that the intra-unit wage structure will be changed to increase the share of the total wage bill received by the median members of the bargaining unit. This prediction is examined through a case study of a collective bargaining unit, the faculty of the state university system in Minnesota. The changes in the wage structure of the unit proposed by the union and those ultimately implemented are both consistent with the median voter model. (Abstract courtesy JSTOR.)
