The earnings gap between black and non-black workers is smaller among union members than among members of the labor force as a whole, according to a report issued Friday from the City University of New York’s Murphy Institute for Worker Education and Labor Studies.
The report found that unionized black workers make a median $21.62 per hour, roughly 10 percent less than unionized non-black workers’ $24.04 hourly wage. Non-union black workers earned a median $13.65 per hour to non-union, non-black workers’ $17.00, amounting to a nearly 20 percent pay disadvantage.
A similar study issued late last month by the Institute for Women’s Policy Research found that unionization alsonarrows the pay gap between men and women, such that unionized women earn 88.7 percent of their male, unionized counterparts. Among workers as a whole — union and non-union — women earn 78 percent of what men take home, on average.
Together the two studies suggest that raising the rate of unionization would help correct some of the most persistent forms of pay discrimination in the American economy.
CUNY sociologist Ruth Milkman, who co-authored the Murphy Institute report, said wage differentials in a unionized workplace tend to be lower across the board.
“Unions tend to negotiate both a higher floor and a lower ceiling in terms of wages, so that’s the main thing,” Milkman said.
An April Pew survey found African-Americans tend to hold a more favorable view of labor unions than other Americans. Sixty percent of black respondents reported feeling positively toward unions, as opposed to 45 percent of white respondents and 48 percent of the population overall.
Women and men in that survey held roughly the same views: Forty-seven percent of women were pro-union, as opposed to 48 percent of men.
Whereas women and men are unionized in roughly equal proportion — 11.7 percent of women and 12.8 percent of men are union members, respectively — black workers are disproportionately likely to labor under collective bargaining agreements.

Both parties aren't to good on unions, but one is better then the other.

Well, democrats have a record of doing things for unions, they're no where near perfect though.Both parties aren't to good on unions, but one is better then the other.

The Democrats are filled with just as many free market miscreants. There comes a point in time where they are just frauds.

The Democrats may have bullshitted a lot of people but they are just as neoliberal as the Republicans. The Right may not see it, won't look for it, and won't believe it but the rest of us..........we have this game down. The Finger Pointing simply puts it in the spotlight for the rest of us.

I agree to an extent, but the democrats do have a record of at least throwing out something.
