Explore how unions and firms shape pay and career paths within a real-world internal labor market.
This book analyzes how a unionized workplace uses a job-evaluation system to set wages and how internal ladders affect mobility and future earnings. It examines a refinery case where a two-ladder structure—Operations and Maintenance—frames promotion, transfer, and quitting decisions under collective agreement rules.
Readers will see how changes inside a firm, like higher ability requirements or more promotion slots, can shift who moves up, how quickly, and what wages look like over time. The discussion blends theory and a concrete industry example to explain short-run wage dynamics in a unionized setting.
- How wage levels are tied to job content and criteria within a CWS-like evaluation system.
- How internal promotion rules and ladder design influence worker mobility and wage growth.
- Differences between adding new job types versus reshaping existing ones and their effects on retention and opportunities.
- How tenure interacts with promotion eligibility to shape the wage- tenure profile.
Ideal for readers interested in labor economics, union theory, and the practical mechanics of internal labor markets.
