In this report, we review the most recent data available to examine the impact of unionization on the wages and benefits paid to black workers. These data show that even after controlling for factors such as age and education level, unionization has a significant positive impact on black workers’ wages and benefits. The union advantage is particularly strong for black workers with lower levels of formal education.
