Abstract
i study was undertaken in order to ascertain the impact of union , organization on the wages and earnings of labor in the building trades. Previous studies of the impact of unions or union-like organizations on wages or earnings of labor in a number of industries have yielded mixed results.2 Some of these studies show that unions or union-like organizations (for example, the American Medical Association) have affected the earnings of their members; other studies show that this effect has been either nonexistent or very small. This paper will be divided into four parts as follows: (1) some considerations of economic theory underlying the choice of an industry for study; (2) a brief presentation of nonearnings evidence of union monopoly; (3) an examination of earnings data for 1939; and (4) an examination of earnings data collected over a period of years.
