Abstract
Union voice is part responsible for the increased provision of fringe benefits to union workers and is particularly responsible
for the redistribution of benefits towards the preferences of the average union worker. Family friendly benefits are valued
more by females so union voice should increase the likelihood that provision of family friendly benefits increases in female
dominated union workplaces. Individual level data from the US is used to examine whether union voice exists in this capacity.
The paper’s results suggest that female dominated workplaces do tend to have increased access to most family friendly benefits,
serving as further evidence that union voice exists in the US.
