This paper supports a theoretical explanation of unionization's effect on wages with empirical data from the NLS of Older Men age 47-67 in 1969. Higher levels of education are shown to decrease the benefits of unionization, contrary to expectation. Hence it concluded that not only does a union-caused increase in efficiency promote wage differentials, but the reduction of the wage-product gap, due to unionization as well.
