Empirical estimation of the union's wage effects for the NLSY is provided. The total union's wage effect is divided into two separate effects. The first is termed the "bargaining effect" and represents the differential between the wage received by a nonunion worker in a collective bargaining unit and the wage paid to a comparable worker not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. It is this effect that offers a measure of the bargaining or monopoly power of labor unions effects on wages. The second effect is the "membership effect" representing the wage differential between union and nonunion workers within a collective bargaining agreement. This effect characterizes the Collective Voice/Institutions Response (CV/IR) effect of labor unions on wages. Such effect is attributed to the economic benefits that unions procure to their members.
