Abstract
The conventional welfare loss to trade unions and collective bargaining has been put at some fraction of 1.0 percent.

These additional social costs turn out to be on the same order as the conventional welfare loss. The analysis finds in passing that the investment by union members in paying dues yields very handsome dividends.
