The Economic Influence of Big Unions
In: The annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Band 333, Heft 1, S. 96-107
ISSN: 1552-3349
Organized labor in the United States is charac terized by the concentration of membership strength in a few, large unions, particularly the Teamsters, Automobile Workers, Machinists, Steelworkers, Carpenters, Electrical Workers, and Mine Workers. Unions of such large size pose certain dan gers to the nation's welfare. Economists, however, tend to minimize any effect the labor movement as a whole may have on comparative wage movements or on the pace of inflation. An analysis of the economic impact of six union groups—auto mobiles, coal, construction, railroads, steel, and trucking—f or the 1947-1959 period leads to the conclusion that the large unions possessed a substantial degree of independent decision- making power during this period and that the unions' use of their power significantly affected the industries within which they operated. During the postwar years, the six big unions —notably the coal, railroad, and steel unions—placed the in dustries within which they were operative under considerable strain. For the same period, however, the effects of union activity on the economy as a whole were secondary to other influences. The likelihood for the future is that the compara tive economic impact of unions will be more important than it was during the postwar inflationary years.

Organized labor in the US is characterized by the concentration of membership strength in a few large unions, particularly the Teamsters, Automobile Workers, Machinists, Steelworkers, Carpenters, Electrical Workers, & Mine Workers. Unions of such large size pose certain dangers to the nation's welfare. Economists, however, tend to minimize any effect the labor movement_ as a whole may have on comparative wage movements or on the pace of inflation. An analysis of the econ impact of 6 union groups- automobiles, coal, construction, railroads, steel, & trucking-for the 1947-1959 period leads to the conclusio>i that the large unions possessed a substantial degree of independent decision-making power during this period & that the unions' use of their power signif'ly affected the industries within which they operated. During the post-WWII yrs, the 6 big unions-notably the coal, railroad, & steel unions-placed the industries within which they were operative under considerable strain. For the same period, however, the effects of union ad activity on the economy as a whole were secondary to other influences. The likelihood for the future is that the comparative econ impact of unions will be more important than it was during the post-WWII inflationary yrs. AA.
