By 1989, labor costs in Sweden, the Netherlands, and West Germany exceeded our own, and costs in France, Italy, and Japan were not far behind.

Regulation and Deregulation

January 23rd, 2007

Regulation of certain industries was a tradition in the United States for almost a century. The Interstate Commerce Act was passed in 1887 to regulate interstate rail freight rates. Congress intended to reduce or eliminate price discrimination between small and large shippers and to maintain an incentive for transportation companies to provide service to rural areas. Other industries have also been the focus of regulations regarding services and charges, including communications, banking, petroleum products and natural gas, electrical utilities, interstate trucking, and airlines. But over the past several years, federal regulation in many of these areas has been reduced or eliminated. The initial result has been the elimination of monopolies and the restoration of price competition.

The Employer’s Desired Unit

January 20th, 2007

The employer’s desired unit is often different than-but not necessarily diametrically opposite of-the union’s desired unit. It may prefer a unit in which the union is unlikely to win an election. If a craft union is organizing, the employer will generally favor a plant-wide unit. In some circumstances, the employer will seek to narrow the unit so that groups strongly in favor of the union will not lead to a majority among a variety of groups that marginally support management.

The Incidence of the Payroll Tax

January 13th, 2007

The payroll tax may be thought of as an excise tax on the employment of labor. The U.S. payroll tax comes in two parts: half is levied on the employees (payroll deductions) and half on employers. A fundamental point, which people who have never studied economics often fail to grasp is that:

Contract Negotiation

January 4th, 2007

The negotiation of a labor agreement is of critical importance to both parties. The agreement will govern the relationship between them for a definite contractual period. For the employer, the contract will have cost impacts and constrain management decision making. For the union, it will spell out the rights of union members in their employment relationships.

Concessions, Profits and Militancy

November 16th, 2006

The early 1980s was not the only period in U.S. economic history during which employees made wage concessions, but it was the first period since the Great Depression in which significant numbers of employees across several industries conceded economic gains. It was also the first time significant numbers of employees represented by industrial unions were required to give back past negotiated gains. The pervasiveness of the concessions is revealed in the cross section of those made by the middle of 1982.
