Abstract

Despite the considerable attention recently given to privatization, important questions remain about its impact on public sector unions and collective bargaining. This study examines how the threat of sanitation contracting affects the wages of union and nonunion public sanitation employees. Results indicate that increases in the threat of sanitation contracting reduce sanitation employees' union-nonunion wage differential. © 1994 Journal of Labor Research.
