Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Unionized workers may have negotiated better wages and benefits, but this may come at the expense of working under stricter conditions and less desirable workplace climate. The collective bargaining process can lead to compromises between management and labor, which may not always be satisfactory to unionized workers.  Other factors such as member apathy or dissatisfaction with union leadership can also play a role in job satisfaction. However, evidence suggests that overall, union members tend to have higher job satisfaction than nonunion members.
