This report uses national data from the Current Population Survey (CPS) to show that unionization raises the wages of the typical service sector worker by 10.1 percent compared to their non-union peers. The study goes on to show that unionization also increases the likelihood that a service sector worker will have health insurance and a pension.

I am a teaching assistant and certainly in the “lowest” wage earner category. Without a union I would not even be making the low wage I do know. I also have reasonable job protection and seniority protection. Luckily, in Ma, employer health insurance is mandated. The percent is usually negotiated through the union.
