Excerpt from Length of Service, Terminations and the Nature of the Employment Relationship
The responses to a mail questionnaire which we recently sent to a large sample of u.s. Firms have provided useful data for answering the above questions. Based on our survey results, we reach two central conclusions. First, for a large majority of both union and nonunion employees, protection against job loss grows with seniority. Reasonable estimates are that over 80 percent of nonunion employees and almost 100 percent of union employees are employed in settings where senior employees are favored substantially in reduction in force decisions, so that junior employees are laid off instead of senior employees considered to be worth less on net to the firm. Second.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. In this insightful exploration, the author delves into the relationship between employee seniority and job security in the United States, focusing on the varying levels of protection provided to workers in unionized and non-unionized settings. Drawing on survey data from a large sample of firms, the book reveals that a substantial majority of both union and non-union employees benefit from seniority-based job protections. However, the analysis uncovers a significant advantage for unionized workers, who are more likely to have their seniority explicitly prioritized in layoff decisions, offering them greater protection against involuntary termination. The book sheds light on the contrasting motivations for seniority-based practices in union and non-union firms, highlighting the role of collective bargaining in strengthening job security for senior workers. Ultimately, this book contributes to our understanding of the complex interplay between seniority, job protection, and the nature of employment relationships in the United States.
