\nContrary to the usual propaganda union bosses would like you to believe, the National Institute for Labor Relations Research<\/a> (NILRR) — an anti-compulsory unionism think tank that exposes the harm forced unionism inflicts on workers — released<\/a> a report today entitled "Union Monopoly Linked to Lower Purchasing Power" that details how workers in least-unionized states enjoy the benefits of higher cost-of-living-adjusted earnings and disposable incomes.\n<\/p>\n

\nYou see, not only does government-granted union monopoly bargaining privileges infringe on employees’ individual liberty, it also harms employees’ economic interests.\n<\/p>\n

\nAccording to NILRR:\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n\t\tAs of 2008, according to economists Barry Hirsch and David Macpherson, 8.4% of private-sector employees nationwide were under \u201cexclusive\u201d union representation. But in 15 states — Alaska, California, Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Nevada, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,. Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin –10.0% or more of private-sector workers were unionized.\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\t…\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tIn 2008, cost of living-adjusted average weekly earnings in the states with 10.0% or more of private-sector employees subject to union monopoly bargaining were $770.\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tThat\u2019s $48 less than the average in the states with private-sector unionization of 5.0% or less. (These low-union density states are: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, New Hampshire, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah and Virginia.) That comes to a roughly $2500-a-year disadvantage for full-time workers in states with high monopoly-bargaining density.<\/u>\n\t\t<\/p>\n

\n\t\tAggregate cost of living-adjusted weekly earnings for states with private-sector union density of 5.1% to 9.9% were $783, or, for full-time workers, nearly $700 a year more than in the highest-union-density states, but more than $1800 a year less than in the lowest-union-density states.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\nNILRR also reports that "disposable income data tell the same story."\n<\/p>\n

\nThe economic benefits of voluntary union membership should come to no surprise to regular Freedom@Work<\/a> readers, as we reported<\/a> last month in "Compulsory Unionism Bankrupting States: Workers Flee to Right to Work States for Jobs":\n<\/p>\n

\n
\n

\n\t\tNILRR recently found<\/a> an especially strong correlation between a state\u2019s Right to Work status and its job growth, while employees in Right to Work states are benefiting<\/a> from faster job growth and higher real purchasing power than their compulsory unionism counterparts.\n\t\t<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/blockquote>\n
