Abstract

The role of unions becomes a critical issue since it has prominent effects, not only to the improvement of workers benefits, but it is also related to the employers’ objectives. Consequently, a significant challenge has emerged for unions in the past three decades. Union membership level has declined significantly in the advanced capitalist economies. This paper investigates the effects of unionisation on labour income share in developed economies using the dynamic panel data estimation with maximum likelihood approach. This study applies panel data of twenty-five developed countries, and the study period is seven years annually covered from 2011 to 2017. The research finding defines that the trade unions have a positive and significant impact on labour income share through its membership and its role in improving collective bargaining coverage as one of the primary goals of trade unions in the labour market.
