Unionization found to reduce pay discrimination

[David_42]

Oh, I agree, but the democrats have undoubtedly done less to screw unions then the republicans.

Fuck 'em.

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.

Fuck 'em.

Something is better then nothing.. We do need more people like sanders though.

Unionization found to reduce pay discrimination

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.

Reader, where you see the word "Unionization", understand that the would-be "Contributor" is referring to "Socialized Labor".

It's communism of the first order. And stands wholly antithetical to American principle.

You see the problem here is that unions treat everybody the same no matter how hard they work. For instance, a non-union company pays their employees by how much output they produce, not by gender, race or how long they've been with a company.

That reminds me of something that happened to me a few years ago:

I made a delivery to one of our customers. The receiver was aggravated that I arrived because he was so busy packing orders.

While he was unloading my trailer, I asked why the company didn't give him some help? He said they did, but the guy was afraid to drive a tow motor so he couldn't unload trucks. Confused, I presented another question. If the guy is afraid to drive a tow motor, why the hell did they allow him to work in Shipping and Receiving? His response was that he bid on the job and had seniority with the union.

Finally I asked, if the guy can't do the job, why don't you tell the union that he's too incompetent to work back here? At that point he stopped the tow motor. He looked me in the eye and said "Right now, I can drive this tow motor right through the front of your trailer, and because of the union, I'd still have a job tomorrow. But if I ever would approach the union and state that a union worker couldn't do the job, I'd be fired on the spot."

That's why union companies are few and far between in this country today.

 

[chikenwing]

Yep, unionization has always protected those who produce less and have fewer skills.

That has been my experience with unions,as member and having the local harass non union workers, I had one clown tell me I was taking food from his kids,like mine don't eat .if you can't make it on your own join a union.

I don't understand the media "using kid gloves" since they barely pay sanders any attention anyways. Regardless, the polls from NH and such are valid.

"God, Hillary Clinton's people must really be concerned about Bernie Sanders if Claire McCaskill is going out of her way to complain about the media being too easy on Sanders! What a ludicrous claim! Sen. McCaskill: First, I didn't hear you complaining about the two years or so of free PR the political media has given to Hillary. They've all treated her as the "inevitable" nominee from Day One and got a bit more critical only in the past few months. Second, do you really think the coverage of Sanders is that great? Many, many articles refer to Sanders not having a chance to win...That's about as "diminishing" and negative as it gets, but you didn't mention that.
We should all be thankful Sanders got in the race. Hillary, even if she wins, should be challenged. I hope she loses. I think Sanders certainly comes off as more honest and authentic than Hillary ever has."

Which is why the pay gap between blacks and whites in general has increased under Obama?
You are an idiot. You cannot look at statistics and understand what they mean. You are the Billy Triple Fail of this board.

This is not surprising, nor can it really be considered remarkable, except that categorizing it as "discrimination" is patently dishonest. Unionization tends to standardize pay scales, largely based on time in position. If you have been working at your job for 5 years, you will get a certain pay. Non union positions entail negotiation, which is where diverse pay levels take root. Those who fail to negotiate, or who do not negotiate well, end up being paid less.

50 Years Of Shrinking Union Membership, In One Map

So f-ing great to see =D

Why?

Because Unions like any mafia make employee's pay them off or they go out of their way to to destroy you.

If a Union is good it would not need to force employee's to join if they take a job. A Union is like a disease, it works it's way into a workplace and then you find out all the side effects and realize there are no positives. At that point an employee should be allowed to leave the Union but the Union will get them fired from the job that pays them to feed their children. Unions are middle men, an evil business that destroys wealth.
