Abstract:
Using data from the British Household Panel Survey from 1991 to 1996, the authors
investigate the impact of union coverage on work-related training and how the union-training
link affects wages and wage growth for a sample of full-time men. Relative to uncovered
workers, union-covered men are more likely to receive training and also receive more days of
training. In addition, union-covered men experience greater returns to training, and coveredtrained
workers face a higher wage growth. While some of these findings have been found in
previous studies, others are new. The wage results, in particular, suggest a rethinking is
warranted of the conventional view that union wage formation in Britain reduces the
incentives to acquire work-related training.
