Trucking Deregulation and Labor Earnings: Is the Union Premium a Compensating Differential?
This paper examines wage determination among union and nonunion truck drivers using the 96 monthly Current Population Surveys for 1983-90.

Union log wage premiums fell from 0.40 in the 1970s to 0.30 or below in the 1...
