What is already known about this subject?
►► Previous scholarship indicates that unions in the USA provide numerous workplace hazards
protections through collective bargaining with employers, such as shift restrictions and safety equipment provision, along with other benefits to health such as medical insurance.
What are the new findings?
►► The paper demonstrates that the protective effect of unions on workplace safety at the micro level translates into large scale reductions in occupational fatalities.
►► I find that diminished union membership due to ‘right to work’ legislation has led to a 14.2% increase in workplace mortality.
How might this impact on policy or clinical practice in the foreseeable future?
►► In light of these findings, policymakers should consider the potential effects of declining unionisation and anti-union legislation on occupational health.
