Abstract
This paper looks into the influence
of trade union-membership
on wages of their members and
also the non-union members in
comparison to workers in enterprises
without any union during
2004-05 to 2011-12. The findings
indicate towards decline in the
effectiveness of trade union-membership
in enterprises with
unions as the real wage gaps and
unexplained wage gaps between
union and non-union members
declined. The relative wages of
workers in non-unionized enterprises
deteriorated. The effectiveness
of trade union-membership
on wages declined more in
the case of low-wage, low-skill
workers indicating declining focus
of trade unions on them.
Trade unions influence on wages
became even less in public/private
limited companies when
compared to other enterprises.
