Bargaining power and #wages: Collective wage agreements and union membership in Germany https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:zbw:ifsowp:329630&r=&r=lab
"Even in an era of declining membership of #unions, their roles remain vital in addressing contemporary labor market inequalities.
… #bargainingPower exerts a significant influence on both individual wage levels and wage inequality in Germany
… both collective wage agreements and union membership… raise wage levels at the national level.… this effect is regionally heterogeneous: Collective wage agreements continue to be linked to higher wages at the regional level, whereas the relationship is weakened or disappears altogether for union membership.
… collective wage agreements go along with lower overall wage #inequality, while union membership compresses wage inequality mainly at the lower end of the distribution."

Trump: "Let's be honest: the European Union was formed to screw the United States. That's the purpose of it."

Not exactly, more like counter balance a disadvantage when a small European country is negotiating with a union of 50 states. Loosing privilege is not the same as the expressed will to screw someone.

The gender pay gap at the top: the role of networks https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:ptu:wpaper:w202423&r=&r=soc
"…female top managers in Portugal earn 25% less than their male counterparts, even after controlling for factors such as age, education, and tenure.
… introducing new metrics for #network size and gender composition based on managers’ past interactions, … networks account for 20% of this pay gap, primarily through firm #sorting, as networks enable access to higher-paying firms. Focusing on episodes of transitions between firms, we estimate a pay gap of around 22%, indicating that most of the gender pay gap originates during the #hiring process.… one-third of the gap is explained by differences in networks. The #networkEffect works through two channels: by facilitating access to higher-paying firms (70% of the effect) and by enhancing #bargainingPower during salary negotiations in the new firm (30%).

4/ 🏨 Look for less popular spots where you might negotiate a better deal. Maybe a $15/night rate in exchange for cleaning duties. Pay cash, clean up before and after. #BargainingPower

#Canada: #Union says #SinglePayer #pharmacare saves money long-term, despite more up-front spending

#Quebec model fails to deliver for #LowIncome people, who need relief from #PrescriptionCosts the most. There is more #BargainingPower to lower drug prices when negotiating with drug producers at the national level. When people get important medications when they need them, they need fewer doctor and hospital visits.
