Compensation Chapter 15 Union Role
in Wage and Salary Administration ©McGraw-Hill Education. All rights reserved. Authorized only for instructor use in the classroom. No reproduction or further distribution permitted without the prior written consent of McGraw-Hill Education.
2.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Overview Experts believe
unions face their most critical challenge of a consistent decline in membership. It may be due to: • The changing structure of America to less unionized industries. • Workers do not view unions as a solution to their problems. • Reduced intensity of organizing efforts. • Management’s increasingly hard stance against unions. Competitive pressures triggered lower-than-normal wage increases in unionized forms and even wage concessions. Some union issues continue to be important to workers and workers show an interest in forming a union when: • Workplace relations are bad, management is untrustworthy, or when workers feel they have little influence over decisions affecting them.
3.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Impact of
Unions in Wage Determination Despite efforts to lessen union impact, they still effect wages. Four areas of union impact. • Impact general wage and benefit levels. • Impact the structure of wages. • Impact nonunion firms through the spillover effect. • Impact wage and salary policies and practices in unionized firms.
4.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Do Unions
Raise Wages? We can look at basic differences in wages, benefits and total compensation between union and nonunion workers. • To infer that union status caused the wage differences would require confidence that workers would be paid the same with no union. • In 2017, the union wage premium was 26% overall and 21% in the private sector. The best conclusion about union versus nonunion wage differences is that: • Unions do make a difference in wages, across all studies and all time periods. • The size of the gap varies from year to year.
5.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Exhibit 15.1:
Compensation, Union versus Nonunion Employees, United States, Worker Survey and Employer Survey
6.
©McGraw-Hill Education. The Structure
of Wage Packages The union’s effect on benefits far exceeds the union’s effect on wages and salaries. • So the effect of unions on total compensation exceeds the union effect on wages and salaries. A second dimension is the evolution of two-tier pay plans. • Differentiate pay based upon hiring date. • Management views wage tiers as a viable compensation strategy. • Unions allowed their spread thinking they were better than wage freezes and layoffs. • The inequality will eventually cause employee dissatisfaction.
7.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Union Impact:
The Spillover Effect Union wage settlements have declined but union impact would be understated if the spillover effect were not accounted for. • Employers seeking to avoid unionization offer workers the wages, benefits, and working conditions of rival unionized firms. • The nonunion management continues to enjoy freedom from union interference and workers receive the spillover rewards. • This is a documented phenomenon, although the effect is diminishing as union power diminishes. • Providing further evidence of the continuing role played by unions in wage determination.
8.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions and
Basis of Pay Most contract specify for hourly and overtime pay. Many specify premiums for nonstandard shifts. Agreements may specify a fixed daily, weekly, biweekly, or monthly rate. • Usually specify a day of the week as payday. Less frequently, contracts specify some form of incentive system as the basis for pay. • Mostly appearing in the manufacturing industry.
9.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions and
Occupation-Wage Differentials Most contracts recognize that different occupations should receive different wage rates. • A single rate prevails within occupations. Although rare, some contracts do not recognize occupational or skill differentials. • These contracts specify a single standard rate for all jobs covered by the agreements. • Usually such contracts cover a narrow range of skilled groups.
10.

11.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions and
Experience / Merit Differentials Single rate agreements do not differential wages based on either seniority or merit. Alternatively, agreements may specify wage ranges. • Automatic progression is movement through the range based on seniority. • Moving through a range based on merit is less common. • A third method of range movement is a combination of these two.
12.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Experience/Merit Differentials
and St. Johns School
13.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Other Differentials
and Vacation/Holiday Pay One differential example is different pay to unionized employees in different geographic areas but employed by the same firm. • Few contracts provide for different wages under these circumstances. • This is problematic for a company paying uniform wages indifferent to the cost of living of the area. Another differential is with part-time and temporary employees. • Few contracts specify special rates for these employees. • Those that do are equally split between paying these workers more or less than full-time workers. Vacation and holiday entitlements are often in union contracts. • They are usually very specific, including guidelines for when holidays fall on odd days of the week.
14.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions and
Wage Adjustment Provisions There is usually a wage adjustment during the contract term. There are three major ways these are specified. • Deferred wage increases are negotiated at the time of the contract and amount and timing is specified in the contract. • Reopener clauses specify that wages, and perhaps some benefits, will be renegotiated at a specified time or under certain conditions. • Cost of living adjustments (COLAs) or escalator clauses, involve periodic adjustments based on changes in the consumer price index.
15.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions Role
in Discipline and Other Job Aspects Union workers cannot be fired at will, unlike nonunion workers. • Management may feel “stuck” with an underperforming employee. • Enhanced job security of union members can translate into a major labor cost problem and productivity problem. Union protection from undue discipline includes a formal grievance process which must be followed when disciplining. • If agreement is not reached, outside arbitration is binding. The most common arbitration issue is discipline, followed by discharge, seniority issues, wages, and benefits. • This indicates management is constrained by more than just discipline. • These limits on management discretion can have consequences for labor costs, productivity, and other objectives.
16.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Unions and
Variable Pay International competition causes a problem for unions. • Increased wage costs from unionized contract may erode market share. • Unions are more receptive to alternative reward systems. About 20% of agreements permit some alternative rewards. • Lump sum, piece rate, gain sharing, profit sharing, skill-based pay. • Willingness to use such plans is higher in highly competitive industries. • The union usually insists on safeguards. • Group-based performance measures with equal payouts. • Performance measures are most often objective. • Most rely on past performance as a gauge of realistic targets.
17.
©McGraw-Hill Education. Alternative Reward
Systems Lump-sum awards are a one-time cash payment typically given rather than a permanent merit increase. Employee stock ownership plans (ESOPs) controls base wages in exchange for employee’s part ownership in the company. Pay-for-knowledge plans pay employees for learning skills and allowing greater employer flexibility in moving workers around. Gain-sharing plans split any cost savings between the company and the workers – streamlining operations and cutting costs. Profit sharing plans payouts can be substantial but the labor savings during lean years make the plans effective.
